For others, choosing a major requires more time and thought. You will find that some investigation of your personal goals, interests, abilities, and careful consideration of alternative fields and employment opportunities will lead to a good choice for you. Changing majors may delay your progress toward graduation, so early planning is advised. Students are encouraged to declare a major before earning 60 credits . Changing a major means that a student has made changes regarding academic or career interests.
Most students change majors at least once.
However, it is a decision that should not be taken lightly. You should discuss this decision with your advisor, in order to avoid taking coursework not compatible with your major. Whenever you change your major, be mindful of the fact that you may be required to take additional coursework in the new major you have selected. Changing your major means that you must complete an Undergraduate Change of Major Form to officially change university documents and to transfer your advisement records to the department of your new major . An Undergraduate Change Of Major Form is available from your advisor or in the Office of the Registrar, Burgin E. Dossett Hall, Room 101.
