4. UG Timeline • Common freshman year • Declare major in department in March of freshman year • Sophomore year • “generic” sophomore year - programs differ by only three courses • Junior year • Begin co-op program at end of sophomore year • Senior year • Research - BS/MS program • Senior Project • TIME

5. Generic Sophomore Year • Students who have not decided upon a major can take the following courses in their sophomore year and declare their majors at the end of the sophomore year. This “generic” sophomore year will allow them to declare CE, CS or EE and still graduate in 4 years without overloads, summer school, etc. Although this is not the recommended (best) sophomore year for any one major, it provides the student with more flexibility in delaying their choice of major until they have a better idea of what they want to do. In addition, the courses that they take in the sophomore year will give them technical exposure to each of the different majors.
