Faculty advisors work closely with students, especially during the first two years, to select the specific courses used to fulfill these requirements. I n addition to the Core Requirements, students must complete the requirements for the major in a particular academic field. In order to complete a major program, students must formally designate a program by the end of the sophomore year. The division chairs and the vice president of academic affairs reserve the right to judge the advisability of an applicant's admission to any particular major. Each student's major program must be arranged under the direction and with the approval of a faculty advisor and must be planned with a view toward obtaining reasonable mastery of a chosen field, with due provisions for work outside the field.
Minors are also available in most fields.
Students must achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average in any major or minor they complete.
