Transfer Opportunities

Associate in Science Transfer Track 2, Pre-Engineering Major Related Program (MRP) Other (Mechanical/Civil/Aeronautical/Industrial/Materials) Science)  Cascadia's Associate in Science Track 2, Pre- Engineering MRP Major-Related Program (part of the Direct Transfer Agreement) prepares you to transfer to a four-year college or university in a variety of engineering majors. Engineering is a broad field; one course of study will not prepare you for study in all the sub-disciplines in the field.
