A Change of Curricula (CODO) occurs when a Purdue West Lafayette student requests to transfer to a program in another college or school in the University. In order to CODO or add a Dual Degree to the Daniels School of Business, you must meet the requirements outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog. Your specific requirements are based on your term of entry to Purdue.
Students looking to change their major to Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) must submit a survey to be considered. Please submit the IBE CODO Survey by 5 p.m. the Thursday of Finals week. No late submissions will be accepted.
Thinking about switching to a business major? Follow the steps below to guide your CODO request process.
Work closely with your current academic advisor to make sure you meet — or are close to meeting — the requirements to CODO.
Once you’ve met the requirements or are currently enrolled in the required courses to CODO, ask your current advisor to officially submit your CODO request on your behalf.

Yes, you can request to pursue multiple degrees at Purdue. This allows you to enroll in two separate degree programs in different colleges or schools at the same time.
If you're not currently in the Daniels School of Business:
If you're already in the Daniels School of Business:
If you meet the CODO requirements and you submit your request during the first two weeks of the semester, your request would be processed and made effective immediately.
If you submit your request any time after the first two weeks of the semester and you meet the requirements to CODO, the request would be processed and made effective for the next term. However, you would be able to work with an academic advisor in the business school immediately.
If you meet the required GPA and you’re currently enrolled in the final courses needed to meet CODO requirements, your request will be accepted conditionally. Please note, your final courses you need for CODO requirements must be in progress at the Purdue West Lafayette campus. Also, to be eligible, you need to have already earned at least 12 graded credit hours from Purdue West Lafayette and be in good academic standing (not on academic notice).
After being accepted conditionally, you will be assigned an academic advisor in the Daniels School of Business. You will also have access to any Daniels School of Business restricted courses. At the end of the semester, your final grades will be reviewed. If you do not meet the CODO requirements, you’ll be removed from any Daniels School of Business restricted courses that you’re registered for in the upcoming semester. Your major will also be changed back to your previous major.
Please note, you are eligible to conditionally CODO only one time to any one college or school. If your conditional CODO is reversed and you want to try again, you’ll have to wait for your final grades to post for the semester before you can CODO.
