Sophomore Experience

Sophomore year is important! You need to keep track of your major’s entrance requirements, declare your major, and, if leaving Harrisburg, request your change of campus. Sophomore Experience programs help you navigate these requirements and connect with people and resources to support your success in your second year. Learn more by checking out the Sophomore Checklist.
