Selection and approval of major or area of concentration

Each student’s major program must be approved by certain college officials. The student has responsibility for seeking such approval through the following steps:

Prepare, with the assistance of the faculty advisor, a program of study which indicates the selection of courses to include a major, a minor or a contextual and support area, and fulfillment of general education requirements.
Meet with faculty members from the primary discipline to discuss program plans.
Secure preliminary departmental approval of the program of study during the first semester of the sophomore year, submitting a copy to the Registrar.

Every student is required to have a declared major by the beginning of the junior year and to have an advisor in the major field. The program must be confirmed and signed by the faculty advisor and the college Registrar no later than the last day for course addition in the first semester of the junior year. A student pursuing pre-medical studies, a B.S. degree, or another field with a specified course sequence may need to confirm his or her program at an earlier date.

The student must maintain an up-to-date description of program plans in the Office of the Registrar. Any changes in a previously approved program must be submitted to and approved by the advisor and the Registrar. Courses to be counted for graduation in a particular major, including those listed for the minor or the contextual and support area, as well as those for the major, must be approved in writing by the chairperson of that department before the Registrar certifies that graduation requirements have been met. For interdisciplinary majors, all involved departments will approve schedules as above.
