Declaring Your Major
Ready to join your major? Here’s how!
Once you’ve decided which major you’d like to complete, you’ll need to either declare your major, or apply for the major if it has an admissions process. Many of our majors are open to all students or to students who meet minimum requirements, and these majors can be declared at any time. Some majors have limited space and more in-depth requirements, so you’ll need to complete an application to those majors.
