On-line Declaration of Major or
Change of Major and
Change of Catalog

The College of Arts and Sciences welcomes you to the on-line declaration of major and change of major request web site; you are limited to one (1) change/request per semester. Once you submit your online form, the College will process your request and if this is your initial declaration of major in the College of Arts and Sciences, you will receive an updated SASS report reflecting your new major.

Change of Major in the College
This application allows you to add a major within our college. To change your major outside the College of Arts and Sciences, you will need to complete the change of major form in BEH201. You will not receive an updated SASS report.

Declaration of Major
The online process allows you to select from a list of the majors/tracks/programs offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. If more than one major/track/program is desired, be sure to make the selection on the online declaration. Students are permitted to declare a maximum of three majors/tracks/programs in the College. In addition, there are several pre-professional science programs that do not lead to completion of a baccalaureate degree. These are only offered following your selection of a major.
