To declare a College of Engineering major, visit Student Services in 246 EB or submit a change major request on your MyMap.

Students must select and declare a major by the time they have 60 earned BYU credit hours (excluding language exam credits). Once a student has 75 earned BYU credit hours (excluding language exam credits), they will not be allowed to change their major, unless special permission is granted. It is not mandatory to declare a major immediately, however some classes within each major require that you declare the major the class is associated with.

To declare your minor, visit to the advisement center that owns the minor (e.g. for Math minor, see the Physical & Mathematical Sciences Advisement Center). Ask them to sign a minor form, and take the form to your primary major advisement center.

MAPs can be found here. Please note: The first page of the MAPs has all the classes required for both the University Core and the major. The second page has an eight semester plan for students, along with information about the major and career opportunities within the discipline.

Please contact Student Services to help plan your first semester of major classes and general education classes. We have resources and advisors to help guide you through your freshman year. Please note some of your General Education classes will overlap with your major classes so it is important to talk to the advisement center about your first year of classes.

While students may try to complete their degree within a four year mark, many find that it takes longer to complete their degree. This is not uncommon. That being said, it is possible to complete your program within eight semesters, even if it may be difficult. We recommend you meet with your department advisor to establish a graduation plan to fit your individual needs. Please contact Student Services to find out who your department advisor is.

Please make sure your transfer credits have been sent to BYU to be evaluated by the transfer office. Once this is done please contact Student Services and we will refer you to your department advisor who can help apply your transfer credits toward your degree at BYU.
