How can I change a major?
To change your major, go to the department office of
the new major you would like to declare. There will be a little bit
of paperwork for you to complete, which will allow you to drop previous
majors or minors and add new majors and minors.
Each undergraduate student is strongly encouraged to work closely with
his or her assigned faculty advisor in selecting General Education courses,
major and minor offerings and elected courses from other disciplines.

What is a Minor? How is a minor different
from a major? How do I declare a Minor?
A major is a concentration of courses in a student's declared area of
primary academic study which, when accompanied by appropriate supporting
courses, leads to a degree. Majors are recorded on the student's permanent
record. The requirements for a major are specified in the Catalog (line)
of the academic year in which the student declares a major.
In contrast to a major, an academic minor involves
less extensive concentration in a discipline but still imposes specific
requirements. An undergraduate minor is a specific set of courses in
a subject area or academic discipline. A minor does not alone lead to
an academic degree, but may be required by some majors.
