Computer Engineering Eight Semester Plan
This eight-semester plan (see important details) is intended to guide students through a four-year undergraduate career, with completion of an academic major and all college-wide degree requirements. The plan is designed as an advising tool – a starting point for careful discussions between students and their academic advisors. In consultation, a student and advisor will adjust the plan to accommodate the student’s prerequisite needs, transferred credits, and other such variables.
The plan below reflects General Education (GE4) requirements in effect as of Fall 2019. Students who matriculated prior to that date will find the previous plan associated with their majors here. For a summary of GE4 requirements, see New Paltz General Education Requirements.
Students are responsible for reviewing their Progress Reports each semester to track their own progress toward degree requirements.

Notes
1 - Engineering students follow a modified General Education requirement that includes a Basic Communication course (ENG170 Writing & Rhetoric or equivalent), plus one course from each of the following six GE categories: United States Studies, World Civilizations & Cultures, Western Civilization, Humanities, Social Sciences, The Arts. Students can often complete their General Education requirements at any time, based on course availability, individual preference and/or advisor input. However, ENG170 (or equivalent) should be taken in Year 1. Courses that fulfill both GE and major requirements should be take in the term your advisor recommends.
Total Credits: 124-126
