Engineering is one of the Limited Enrollment Programs at the University of Maryland which means that all students transferring must be admitted to the University of Maryland and also meet specific Gateway Criteria.  

Students pursuing the online fire protection engineering courses will be Transfer Students. Most students will be External Transfer Students who are not currently at the University of Maryland and would transfer from a different institution or have prior coursework already completed. 

• Take advantage of the External Transfer Student Checklist.
• Reach out to Engineering Academic Services for questions about admissions and application to the University of Maryland. Virtual appointments are available.

Please visit the Fire Protection Engineering Advising and Academic Support website to learn more about requesting an advising appointment and to view sample graduation plans along with degree requirements.

• Course Format: Learning will be primarily asynchronous. Classes will be accessible to students in all time zones and with various work schedules.
• Course Schedule: coming soon!
   

Students pursuing online Fire Protection Engineering courses will follow the University of Maryland Tuition Structure for in-state and out-of-state tuition. Please note that tuition differs based upon if you are attending full-time or part-time. Students who are only pursuing online courses do not need to pay mandatory fees.

Scholarships are available for Fire Protection Engineering students! If you want to learn more, contact an Academic Advisor with any questions. 

Prospective students are welcome to take ENFP courses at UMD as non-degree seeking students. Students interested in taking courses at UMD without pursuing a degree must apply for admission as non-degree seeking students using the Transfer Application. On the application, please be sure to indicate that you are applying as a "non-degree seeking" student. You will be reviewed under the same standards for admission as degree-seeking students and we cannot guarantee that non-degree seeking applications received after the application deadline will be reviewed. More information about this process can be found on the Admissions Website.

Students interested in taking ENFP courses must meet all course prerequisites in order to enroll in the course. Students are not required to meet the Clark School transfer admission requirements in order to take classes; however, should you wish to pursue a bachelor's degree in Fire Protection Engineering, you will be expected to submit an application and meet the transfer admission requirements as outlined on our Clark School External Transfer Website.
