Change Major Process

  1. Review the curriculum and semester plans for the BS in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering
  2. Degree shop by major in ONE.UF to review your academic record on the degree audit
  3. To change your major to the electrical engineering major, please email the academic advisor (ntyoung@ufl.edu)  to schedule an appointment to officially switch.  In the subject line, use “Change of Major Request to BSEE program.”  In the email body please include your UFID number and semester you began at the University of Florida.
  4. To change your major to the computer engineering major, you may find it helpful to review the CpE Info Packet in order to complete the CpE Change Major Form. The Computer Engineering advisor will contact you to schedule a meeting to discuss switching to the computer engineering major.
