Major Affiliation

Students typically apply to affiliate with a major during the first semester of the sophomore year, although earlier affiliation may be granted.

Occasionally, a student falls just short of meeting the criteria to affiliate but demonstrates potential in that major. In such cases the student may be offered "conditional affiliation." Students must meet the requirements specified in the conditional affiliation agreement in order to continue in the major program. All students must be affiliated or conditionally affiliated with a major by the end of their fourth semester or they will be withdrawn from the college.

Co-ops

Cornell University’s Engineering Cooperative Education program is founded in the College of Engineering’s vision to “prepare our undergraduate students for lifelong creation of knowledge and solutions to complex real-world problems.” Cornell University’s Engineering Co-op program provides an educational opportunity that integrates a student's academic and career interests with paid, productive work experience at cooperating organizations throughout the world. During this experience, students convert theory into practice as they apply classroom knowledge to practical work situations, as well as gain knowledge and skills, which will enhance future coursework. In addition, the program offers students the opportunity to clarify their academic focus and test their career interests and goals.
