Students are welcome to declare our majors after matriculating. It is best to declare during the freshman year, but it is possible to declare later.
Students must complete a series of “introduction to engineering” and “introduction to programming” courses. There are options to suit each student’s situation. Visit the “Intro to Engineering / Intro to Computing Options” file for information.
Academic Program Manager Mike Bernard can explain the majors and help determine what courses will count toward our degrees to create a degree plan (also known as a 4-year plan). Please contact Mike at me-academic@jhu.edu to arrange a meeting. At that meeting, students can declare their majors and be assigned a faculty advisor, or can take time to decide whether or not to declare the major.
