Arapahoe Community College Transfer Pathway

The transfer process to engineering is easier than ever.
Take the next step and continue on your path to an amazing career.
Students who begin at Arapahoe Community College can transfer directly to CU Boulder to finish their degree in engineering. Thanks to an integrated partnership, this pathway can be attractive to both community college students, as well as qualified high school students taking concurrent enrollment classes with ACC.
CU Boulder Engineering and Arapahoe Community College have designed this pathway to support a more streamlined transition between colleges and give you a detailed view of what your academic plan will look like.
At ACC, you can complete classes before transferring to CU Boulder and have the peace of mind that your credits will apply directly to your engineering degree.
Transfer Advising Guides by Major
The following guides articulate specific courses that will transfer to CU Boulder from Arapahoe Community College and each guide will provide a 5-year plan, by major. These plans can be shortened to four years, by starting directly in Calculus 1, or making up classes in the summer, as well as being directly admitted to CU Engineering. Be sure to work with your academic advisor, as these are only meant to act as a sample pathway and can vary, based on each individual student.
