Compare minimum GPA and second-choice rules
| Major | Minimum GPA | Second choice |
|---|---|---|
| Mays BBA (BUAD) | 3.80 overall and in required courses | No |
| Mays Business BS (BUSI) | 3.80 overall and 3.25 in required courses | Confirm with Admissions |
| Mechanical Engineering (MEEN) | 3.50, with B or better in required courses | No |
The university baseline is 2.50 on at least 24 graded transferable hours. Admission also depends on the major review and available space. The 2026–27 BUSI course sheet lists eligibility when BUAD is first choice. The Admissions transfer overview says Mays does not consider second choices. Ask the Office of Admissions which rule applies before choosing BUSI.
What courses does Mays require?
- BUAD with 24–29 hours · The course sheet requires completion of MATH 1324, MATH 1325, ECON 2301 and ECON 2302. The Catalog allows the math and economics pairs to be in progress. Confirm with Mays if any are unfinished.
- BUAD with 30 or more hours · The course sheet lists those four plus ACCT 2301 or 2401, ACCT 2302 or 2402, BCIS 1305 and BUSI 2305. It allows required courses to be complete or in progress.
- BUSI · The BS sheet expects competitive applicants to have those eight courses complete or in progress. Mays considers external transfers for summer or fall.
These are Texas Common Course Numbering System codes. The Mays sheets accept MATH 2414 for 1324 and MATH 2413 for 1325. Check your college’s equivalents before you register.
What courses does Mechanical Engineering require?
The required-course table lists MATH 2413 and 2414, PHYS 2425 or 2325, PHYS 2426 or 2326, CHEM 1409 or 1412, and ENGL 1301 or 1302. Earn at least a B in each required course. Physics II must be complete or in progress at application.
The sheet calls for two full semesters after high school, at least 24 transferable hours and a Mechanical Engineering essay. Credit by exam does not count toward those hours. Programming is recommended.
The chemistry table and department guidelines list CHEM 1409 or 1412. A footnote on page 2 lists CHEM 1410. Confirm your chemistry course with the Mechanical Engineering department before registering.
When can I apply for Fall 2027?
College Station’s Summer and Fall 2027 transfer application window runs January 1 through March 1, 2027. The 2026–27 major sheets cover applications filed August 1, 2026 through October 15, 2027.
Check graded hours in the Catalog and map your courses in the transfer equivalency guide. Check the current course sheet for your major before applying.
