The Department of Agricultural Engineering also offers a number of scholarships each year. The UT Knoxville Financial Aid Office helps students develop financial aid packages consisting of grants, student loans, scholarships, and student employment. Part-time work is usually available in the Agricultural Engineering Department, other University departments, and in surrounding businesses and industries. All applicants must meet the general University requirements, which are listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. For students who wish to be as well prepared as possible, extra courses in the areas of mathematics, English and physical sciences may be helpful.
Transfer students are an important part of the student body.
Students at community colleges or other universities who wish to major in agricultural engineering at UT Knoxville should plan ahead and choose their courses carefully to ensure that all credits will transfer. Students who plan to transfer should consult the current articulation agreement between the community college and UT Knoxville and work closely with an agricultural engineering department faculty advisor.
