This procedure is begun by making an appointment with the student's advisor to complete an Application for Declaration of a Major. This application is forwarded to a faculty member in the major department for which admission is being sought. The department reviews the academic record of the applicant to determine aptitude for success in the major. Upon approval by the department, the student is assigned to an advisor in the major department. Students must attain at least a 2.50 grade point average in the major.
Some majors have higher grade point average requirements.
Credits used to satisfy the major may also be used to satisfy general degree requirements. At least 128 degree credits are required for the bachelor's degree, including at least 36 credits in upper-division courses. There is no limit to the number of credits which may be taken in one department. A minimum of 30 credits must be earned in residence to receive a bachelor's degree from Wisconsin Lutheran College.
