Full-time students normally declare their major in the second semester of their second year, although some students may declare earlier in order to facilitate the planning needed for an appropriate sequence of the courses required to complete the major within four years.
Part-time students normally declare their major by the time they have completed 60 credits.
Students may utilize the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) online declaration system to declare either their major or their minor: http://sasundergrad.rutgers.edu/forms/major-and-minor-declaration. Some academic departments may have prerequisites and/or require approval by an adviser. For more information regarding declaring either a major or a minor, please see the SAS website at http://sasundergrad.rutgers.edu/academics/advising/major.html. Students who attend a school within Rutgers outside of SAS should consult with their adviser for information on the declaration process.
