Prerequisite Coursework for Transfer Students
Students transferring to Florida Atlantic University must complete both lower-division requirements (including the requirements of the Intellectual Foundations Program) and requirements for the college and major.

All courses not listed in the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System that will be used to satisfy requirements will be evaluated individually based on content and will require a catalog course description and a copy of the syllabus for assessment.
