Program Advantages Students will be able to choose courses that satisfy degree requirements while enjoying the benefit of excellent advisement to help them succeed at the University. Inc. Declaring a Major Students should understand that certain academic programs require prerequisite courses for admission to the department or program. Completion of such prerequisites, if not undertaken during the period of study as an undeclared major, may prolong university attendance. Students should make inquiry about program requirements as early as possible during their first year of study. Students are encouraged to declare a major prior to the completion of 64 credits.
