Notes and Additional Curriculum Options

  1. The social sciences elective requirement can be satisfied by courses with the following prefixes: ECO, GEO, PLS, HIS, PSY and SOC.
  2. The humanities elective requirement can be satisfied by courses with the following prefixes: ARA, ART, ENG (literature courses only), FRE, GER, HUM, MUS, PHI, REL, SPA and CST (with the exception of CST 100, CST 105 and CST 115).
  3. Students are encouraged to consult their faculty advisors or transfer colleges for advice regarding the selection of electives and other requirements specific to the engineering programs at the institutions where they plan to transfer. 
  4. Transfer Articulation Agreement with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia.  Graduates of this program with 3.4 GPAs will meet the transfer requirements to U.Va. and may pursue their bachelor degrees in engineering by taking on-site and distance education courses from U.Va. offered at John Tyler’s campuses or attending classes in Charlottesville.  JTCC graduates with GPAs of less than 3.4 may seek admission to the U.Va. portion of the program in the same manner as all other students wishing to enter U.Va. degree programs.
