Declaring an Engineering Major

All engineering students must declare a major whether or they are planning on staying in the School of Engineering. Do not miss this deadline your choice of major is important in choosing courses for the fall semester.

The Major Declaration form will open on April 1 and must be submitted by April 30, 2023.

To declare your major, complete the selection by clicking the button next to your major choice. Your major is the engineering curriculum you will follow in your remaining three years at Rutgers. Although the university reserves the right to limit enrollment in particular disciplines, all majors in the School of Engineering are currently open to you without restriction.

The form also includes an option to leave the School of Engineering for those who will be transferring. Students with questions concerning this option or any issue concerning major declaration, should contact the first-year dean: firstyear@soe.rutgers.edu or visit Academic Services Offices, B-100.
