2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog

Declaring a Major

Students are expected to declare a major as soon as possible and no later than the end of their sophomore year. The Office of Career Development offers workshops to assist undeclared students. To declare a major, students must fill out a Declaration of Major form available in the Academic Departments and the Registrar’s Office. Completed forms must be submitted to the academic department for the major. That office will assist in obtaining all appropriate signatures and assign an academic advisor. Freshmen and transfer students are admitted into a specific College as an undeclared major. A student who wants to switch their College should contact that College. Students who wish to change a major, add a second major, or make similar declarations should contact the appropriate academic departments. Minors can be added or dropped directly with the Registrar’s office.
