Declaring a Major/Change of Major

  • Students should make their initial choice of major after registering minimum of 12 credits. However, they must make their final choice of a major before reaching Junior standing (60 credits.)
  • To initially request a major, a student must file an application with the Registration Office. The application form must be approved by the student’s advisor and the head of the academic department that offers the major.
  • To change an existing major, a student must file a new application with the Registration Office. This application must be approved by the student’s advisor and by the head of the academic department of both the student’s current major and the student’s requested major.
  • Changes of major are subject to space being available in the sought major.
