The first area of specialization must be an existing engineering major (biomedical, civil, electrical, computer, or mechanical). The second area of specialization may be any existing University of Hartford major. A third area of specialization is not allowed. A study plan of courses must be submitted and approved by the dean of CETA before a change of major form is processed.
