CU System Course Equivalencies Table

On This Page:

The following course-by-course equivalency table should assist in advising students anticipating an intercampus transfer to the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the CU-Boulder campus. Note there may be credit hour differences between equivalences, thus students should inquire about credit hours applicable toward degree requirements with their destination major department.
