I'm currently trying to transfer from cc to UD for environmental engineering. I am finishing my associates at my cc this summer. The only issue is that I don't fit the requirement of having Calc 1. I don't want to stay at cc for another semester to take the singular calc class and put me behind. Do you think it would be a bad idea to apply for something else and take Calc 1 and other classes that would help me in enviro engineering as well and then try to transfer out in the spring? Should I just tough it out and stay at cc even though I would only be taking one class?

Has anyone done something similar or have experience transferring to enviro engineering? Is it less likely to be admitted in the spring?
