The Department of Electrical Engineering welcomes transfer students from Illinois community colleges. Students find it easy to continue their studies at NIU if they plan well. Therefore, following the guidelines in this brochure while completing an Associate's Degree is highly recommended[1]. Students should always work closely with their community college advisor. Please contact the Advising and Transfer Center at McHenry County College for more help in planning your academic career.

| [1]Northern Illinois University permits students to transfer up to a maximum of 66 semester hours of community college credit. Only AA and AS degrees satisfy NIU's general education requirements. | ||
NIU's College of Engineering and Engineering Technology no longer requires sequences in Social Sciences and Humanities. Therefore, students only need to satisfy NIU's general education requirements. When choosing general education/core competency courses please consult with your McHenry College advisor, verify general education requirements in the NIU Undergraduate Catalog, and check the Community College Articulation Tables for transferability.
