Major
In addition to completing the general education requirements, each student must pursue at least one area of knowledge in depth. This is done by completing the requirements for a major concentration. In order to declare a major, complete a Declaration of Major Form (found at the bottom of this page).
Some students may plan a Self-Designed major composed of courses selected from several departments but all contributing to some unified purpose or theme. A student desiring to plan a Self-Designed major must make suitable arrangements early in the college career and submit a proposal signed off by a committee of faculty members from the departments from which the courses are taken. The Self-Designed Major Proposal Form can be found at the bottom of this page.
The student must declare a major no later than the end of the Spring semester of the sophomore year. Registration for the junior year is not permitted until a Declaration of Major Form has been filed with the Registrar's Office.
Minor
The student has the option of completing the requirements for one or more minors. In order to declare a minor, the student must complete a Declaration of Minor Form (found at the bottom of this page).
The deadline for filing for a minor is the Friday of the end of the first week of classes of the semester in which you will finish your degree requirements.
