Change/Declare Major

At the time of admission to the university, each undergraduate student is assigned to a pre-major or major field or curriculum, OR is designated as an undeclared major. After registration, all students wishing to change their major or curriculum should check with the department of their intended major for requirements and filing periods.

Upon change or declaration of major, students must adopt the requirements of the major and any minors in effect at that time. Students may use the Major Advisor Directory to find the appropriate staff member for further assistance or questions.

New Process as of Spring 2023

Declare Your Major

Students who need to declare, change, or remove their major or minor must meet with their advisor. Your major advisor will submit a Declaration of Major or Minor form on your behalf.

Remove a Second Major or Current Minor

Please meet with your advisor and they will initiate the process.
