Students applying to the College of Engineering can choose their major at two times: when applying to a major directly or when applying undecided and making a selection in the spring of their first year.
Students who apply directly to a major are admitted directly to that major or, in the case of Civil and Environmental Engineering, a department. Students who are accepted to Civil and Environmental Engineering will declare either Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering at the end of the fall semester of their first year.
Students admitted as undecided within the College of Engineering are allowed to choose among the primary majors during the spring semester of their first year.
Requests to change majors will be considered after the first year but are not guaranteed to be approved and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
In the spring of their first year, all students will also have the opportunity to declare an additional major, such as Biomedical Engineering, Engineering and Public Policy, Engineering, Design, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Engineering and Fine Arts.
