Changing of Curriculum (Field of Study/Major)

Changing or declaring your engineering major (aka Field of Study) is a simple process. You will need to complete the Declare/Update Field of Study form. You should complete the form following the prompted instructions. You will need to meet with your current academic advisor as well as the Undergraduate Chair of the program into which you are moving.

Note:

The entering year determines the specific requirements to satisfy the BAS or BSE degree.  The entering year is determined from the catalog year that you entered Penn.  Students who entered Penn prior to Fall 2020 will not be allowed to switch to the “Entered Fall 2020 or later” Curriculum.  There will be no exceptions.

Students may not declare Digital Media Design (DMD) or Networked and Social Systems Engineering (NETS).  Students must complete the application process for these limited enrollment majors.
