Major Declaration Process

During the first semester or year, faculty advisors assist students in selecting and declaring a major field of study. A student is then assigned a major advisor by the Center for Student Engagement respective of the department’s faculty. If the student is not ready to choose a major, they will remain with their current faculty advisor until they have reached a decision. At that point they will be assigned to a major advisor in the appropriate department. It should be noted that certain programs and majors require a higher grade point average and separate application process and/or additional entrance requirements, such as a GPA of a ‘C’ average (2.00) in the courses within the major, as a minimum for acceptance. Students are eligible to declare their major after the start of their first semester.
