Choice of Major. A student choosing one of the
following majors should declare it in the spring of the first year:
American studies, visual arts, biochemistry, dance, music, nutritional
science, and physics. A student declaring any other major should do so
during the sophomore year at the time designated by the registrar as
long as she meets any conditions that may be set by the major
department. Application and admission to the appropriate department are
required of majors in professional schools awarding a joint degree.
Double Major. A
double major can be recognized provided a student fulfills the
requirements of both major departments by the date of graduation. The
student must declare the majors at the proper time and fulfill all
conditions required by either department. The double major is recorded
on the student`s transcript.
Change of Major. A
student wishing to change her major should consult the undergraduate
director of the department of her proposed new major. If the
undergraduate director approves the new program and all the
requirements can be met within the time allotted, the student should
then file a change-of-major form at the Office of Academic Services.
Changes of major may be difficult after the start of the junior year
and sometimes require extensive extra course work.
