LimitationsSome programs may require a portfolio or an audition before advanced coursework can be taken (e.g. Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Media Arts, Music, Dance, and Architecture).
Engineering requires a review of pre-requisites (after the NSE Placement Conference) and approval from the College of Engineering. Engineering students should have Calculus 1 & 2 and Physics 1 & 2 already completed. Experience and high scores in Math and Science coursework will be required for Engineering admission.
Students applying for exchange in Computer Science should be aware that course availability is limited and UArizona Computer Science Majors and Minors have priority. Further, Computer Science will allow enrollment in a maximum of three CS classes; students should plan to take at least one class outside of the department to meet the required 12-credit minimum for exchange.
Starting in Spring 2023, upper-division (300- and 400-level major classes) Film & Television courses are no longer available to exchange students. A brief list of Film & Television general education classes will remain open to students on a space available basis.
