Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering Prerequisite Guides

Review these guides for courses recommended in preparation for transferring to UWF Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering degree plans.

Each table indicates the common prerequisites for a program. Please consult with an advisor to confirm degree requirements.

Transfer Course Checker

The Transfer Course Checker is provided as a tool to assist students in determining how a particular course will transfer from another institution to the University of West Florida. Equivalencies are subject to change upon official evaluation by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. We are constantly updating course equivalency data, and you may need to provide a syllabus for a course.
