Declaring or Changing of Major, Minor or Concentration

Declaring or changing a Major

If you would like to change your major, please come to Academic Advising and fill out a change of major form. Major changes are done twice a year: October 1 and February 1. Please be sure to submit the form prior to these deadlines. At the end of October or February, you will receive notification that you have or have not been accepted into the major. For more info, refer to the College Catalog.

Declaring or changing a Minor

If you would like to declare or change a minor, please come to Academic Advising to fill out a declaration of minor form. A minor can be changed or declared any time of the year. It is your, the student's, responsibility to then bring the form to your Major Chairperson for a signature, and then it will be forwarded to the Minor Department Chairperson. Please see the College Catalog for details.

Declaring a Concentration

Some majors have optional concentrations, some have mandatory, and some have none. To declare a concentration, please come to Academic Advising to fill out a concentration declaration, which can be done anytime of the year. The form must then be taken by you to the major chairperson of the applicable department, then it is submitted to the Registrar's Office. For more information, see the College Catalog.
