Multidisciplinary Engineering Major Change (CODO) Requirements

Major Change (CODO) Requirements

Students will need to meet the criteria below to be eligible for this major. A student’s catalog term, typically the semester you started at Purdue, will be used to determine the Major Change criteria that applies to you. Students can find their catalog term at the top of their MyPurduePlan below the degree progress bar.

This major change information below is for the catalog term you are currently viewing; see the University Undergraduate Academic Advising Major Change (CODO) website for prior catalog term criteria and FAQs.

Other Requirements

• Students are accepted for FALL, SPRING and SUMMER.
• Students are admitted on a SPACE AVAILABLE BASIS ONLY after a holistic review.  Space is limited.
• Students must be in good academic standing (not on academic probation).
• Students must submit a plan of study for the desired concentration that is endorsed by the Director or the MDE/IDES advisor. See Multidisciplinary Engineering Studies website for details.
• Average GPA of 2.5 in a minimum of 6 credits in engineering courses 200+ level (AAE, ABE, BME, CE, CEM, CHE, ECE, EEE, ENE, ENGR, EPCS, IDE, IE, ME, MSE, NUCL) taken at Purdue prior to CODO.
• Minimum semester GPA of 2.5
