Undecided Engineering

The Undecided Engineering core curriculum has been developed for first-year students who are undecided about a specific major. Completing this program will allow the student to transfer into any engineering department (except BME) during or at the end of the first year of study.

More detailed requirements for students enrolling at JHU for Fall 2025 will be available on this page when the JHU e-Catalogue is published in early July.

Overview

The Undecided Engineering major is for students who are interested in engineering but are unsure of which specific discipline to pursue. WSE Undergraduate Academic Affairs sponsors the major to allow students to take foundational coursework relevant for most engineering majors as well as introductory courses. Students use the time in the undecided major to determine if they will declare a specific major within WSE or pursue a primary major in KSAS.
