AI Thread Summary
To transfer to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) for nuclear engineering, students should focus on completing specific coursework that aligns with the program's requirements. Essential classes include computer science, engineering fundamentals, advanced mathematics, and physics, totaling around 35 credit hours. Key courses include Computer Programming, Engineering Graphics, Statics, Dynamics, Electrical Circuits, Calculus (up to Differential Equations), and multiple physics classes. Additionally, general education requirements in communications, laboratory science, humanities, and social sciences must be fulfilled, with a minimum grade of C in key courses.Concerns about transferability often arise, particularly regarding language requirements like Spanish, but these can vary. It is advised to consult the UIUC website for the most current transfer requirements and to reach out directly to an academic advisor for personalized guidance. Engaging with university resources can provide clarity on any additional classes that may enhance transfer chances and ensure alignment with the latest program expectations.

Transfer requirements of UIUC??

I am attending kankakee community college in kankakee illinois. www.kcc.edu
I will have an accociates in engineering science when i complete the whole curriculum.

I am wondering what classes are needed to transfer to the univeristy of illinois.
Alot of people are saying you need 3 credits of spanish so they can't get in, and all kinds of things. Talking about how impossible it is to transfer to this college.

I am looking to go into nuclear engineering there, if someone could give me a guideline of what i should do and which classes i need other than the ones I am taking now to increase my chances of transfering there.

This is the schedule i will have completed when i try and transfer.
What other classes will i need?
What other classes will help?
What can i do to get in!

I don't mean to sound harsh here, but with such a specific question you really do need to call/e-mail/visit the University of Illinois and talk to somebody in Undergraduate Education (or their similarly-named administrative unit) rather than solicit advice on the internet.
 


Have you at least looked on the UIUC website for the official requirements for transfer students? Surely they must have something online.
 


Was banking on someone here might have gone there. Its very high ranked, if not #1 in the nation. If they went for Nuke then they would know exactly the answer. But yes I am doing research on my own of course. More information from anybody can't hurt.
 


I would strongly suggest getting an appointment with an advisor at the university. Requirements/expectations may have changed since whomever responds here attended classes. The advisor will also be of more help with the specific's of your schedule.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
