Changing or Declaring a Major
Changing or declaring a major requires careful thought and investigation. First step is to do “your homework”:
Start by researching the major’s webpage:
What are the required courses?
How long will it take to complete all requirements?
What are co-curricular opportunities – internships, research, study abroad, clubs, etc?
What are career opportunities?
During the fall semester, attend the Majors Fair to talk with staff and advisors from each of the majors.
Understand the process:
There are two categories of majors on campus – Restricted and Non-Restricted:
A restricted major requires that a student apply to be accepted into the program. There are usually criteria for admission (e.g., specific courses, GPA, mandatory meeting) and an entry process/application with deadlines.
In an unrestricted major, students can change/declare at any time by meeting with an advisor, although an informational meeting may be required.
Use the links below to find out the process and who to contact regarding changing/declaring your major.
