Engineering faculty prerequisites according to the official 2026 CEGEP grid: acceptance possible with a minimum of 4 prerequisites, including Differential Calculus AND Integral Calculus, plus two science prerequisites; very competitive program, all prerequisites recommended before entry; missing ones are added to the program at McGill. Software engineering also exists in the B.Sc. (Faculty of Science). CEGEP students admitted to engineering generally receive at least 24 credits of advanced standing (U1 entry). No minimum R score per department published on the official pages consulted:
