Declaration of Majors and Minors

  • Undergraduate degree candidate students should declare their majors at the time of acceptance to the University. Students who are undecided about their majors may declare “Undecided” instead of a major, but must declare a major when junior status has been reached; i.e., when 58 credit hours have been earned.
  • Music, theatre arts, and dance students must audition for faculty approval before being admitted to a major in that area. Similarly, art students must submit a portfolio.
  • The major of undergraduate transient students will be “non-degree.”
  • Students may declare more than one major and may change their declared majors. Such additions and changes are made in the Academic Advising Center for traditional undergraduate and in the Registrar’s office for Accelerated Degree students.
  • Students who choose to declare a minor do so by meeting the requirements listed in the Catalog for the particular minor and asking the Registrar to verify and record this achievement. Minors are not required unless a particular degree program; e.g., a Bachelor of Fine Arts, so specifies. Minors must be selected from the same Catalog that is used for meeting major requirements.
