An academic major is selected sometime in the sophomore year. The application for a major is available in the Office of the Registrar. The major does not get a student into professional school. The official state of residence of a student plays a crucial role in acceptance to professional schools. A student's state residence is determined by the parent's state, e.g., a student from Connecticut attending Trinity University remains a resident of Connecticut.
Most states permit only a few students to enroll in their professional schools as nonresidents.
In general, a student's chance of acceptance to professional schools is best in his or her state of residence. One must be sure all minimum require ments for entrance in that state are satisfied. Students wishing to estab lish Texas residence for purposes of education should contact Professor Blystone.
