All degree candidacy changes — whether into or out of the B.S.E. program — are initiated by the Undergraduate Affairs Office in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Great! Let’s talk.
During the summer or university breaks, contact BSEprogram@princeton.edu and explain why you would like to join the B.S.E. program and which B.S.E. majors interest you. Dean Swanson will be in touch.
During the academic year, please schedule a meeting with Dean Swanson through the following link: https://stellic.princeton.edu/appointments/r/degree_change
Note that we do not process degree changes for new students between July 15th and the first day of fall classes.

Take Physics 103-104 or 105-106 and Math 103 or higher (depending on your preparation) in your first year. The other two courses can advance you toward the A.B. degree, so maybe a language course and a humanities or writing course. If you really want to take the full B.S.E. program, you could also take chemistry, but we can usually work that in later unless you want to do CBE. If you’re interested in Computer Science, take COS 126 sometime in your first year. Come see Dean Swanson as soon as possible.
