Change of Major

Change Majors within the College of Engineering 

Students who wish to change their major to a different major within the College of Engineering must complete the appropriate form. The form can be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site.

There are two deadlines for major change applications: Dec. 1st and May 1st. Decisions will be made and communicated to the student before the start of the following semester. The ability to change majors is dependent on merit and enrollment in each major. 

Transfer into the College of Engineering from another College within Villanova 

Students who wish to transfer into the College of Engineering from another College within Villanova must complete the appropriate form. The form can be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site

There are two deadlines for transfer applications: Dec. 1st and May 1st. Decisions on transfer applicants will be made and communicated to the student before the start of the following semester. 

Note to incoming first-year students: To be fair to those who have applied to Engineering as high school students and were not accepted, we regret that we cannot accept a student who was accepted by another college and wants to transfer immediately to Engineering upon entering campus in August. Since the acceptance criteria for each college differ, all of us recognize a possible unfair advantage to this. Most importantly, there is not enough time for Engineering to consider the application and work through the acceptance process without rushing to judgment. Students in this situation can apply to Engineering as an internal transfer student before Dec. 1st. 

Please note: The ability to change majors is dependent on merit and enrollment in each major. 

Transfer from the College of Engineering into another College within Villanova

Students wishing to transfer from Engineering to another College at Villanova should contact the Dean's Office of the desired College.
