350  English

510  History

548  Information Systems

790  Political Science

830  Psychology

The general advisers, the deans, and staff members of the Career Development Center can provide assistance to students who are undecided about an appropriate program to pursue. The requirements for each major are established by the appropriate academic department and are subject to modification. The number of credits needed to complete a major varies. Some programs of study may require more than the minimum 124 credits necessary for graduation. For details about specific majors, see the Academic Programs and Courses chapter.

Students must satisfy the requirements specified by the department of their major at the time they officially declare that major. Students leaving the college for two semesters or more must meet the requirements in place at the time they return.

No course in which a grade of D or F has been earned may be counted toward the completion of a major or minor. In some disciplines, the required cumulative grade-point average for the major is higher than the minimum specified by the college for graduation. Transfer students must complete at least one-half of the credits required for their major at the college.
