Transfer from RCTC to

the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities

Geological Engineering

The University of Minnesota has prepared a guide specifically for RCTC students intending to transfer there. Here is the relevant part for Geological Engineering:

University of Minnesota Geological Engineering Semester Plan

The above is from the University’s Civil Engineering curriculum guide: semester course plan

Here is a sample RCTC course plan:

First Year Fall	Credits	First Year Spring	Credits
MATH 1127 Calculus I	5	MATH 1128 Calculus II	5
PHYS 1127 Classical Physics I	5	PHYS 1128 Classical Physics II	5
ENGL 1117 Reading and Writing Critically I	4	ENGR 2211 Statics	3
ESCI 1101 Earth Systems Science	3	Liberal Education course


Second Year Fall	Credits	Second Year Spring	Credits
MATH 2237 Multivariable and Vector Calculus	5	MATH 2238 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra	5
ENGR 2212 Dynamics	3	BIOL 1220 Concepts of Biology	4
CHEM 1127 Chemical Principles I	4	CHEM 1128 Chemical Principles II	4
Liberal Education course		Liberal Education course

Note: CHEM 1127 and CHEM 1128 could be taken in the second year. ENGL 1117 can be taken at any time, as it is not a prerequisite for other courses. It is most important to take Calculus I (Math 1127) and Classical Physics I (Physics 1127) as early as possible, as many following courses require them as prerequisites.

Note: Some of the courses listed in the University’s Civil Engineering course plan are not available at RCTC (CE 3101, 3102, 3201, 3202, 3501). You may wish to transfer earlier due to this, or you may finish up the math, physics, chemistry, statics, and dynamics at RCTC while taking some general courses. It will probably take the student 3 years to finish the Civil Engineering bachelor’s degree AFTER transferring.
