How do I change my major?

Contact the advising coordinator or department office of the department that offers the major you want to change to and make an appointment to discuss what you need to do to make the change. Find out if there are any special application procedures, required courses, grade-point minimums, or other requirements needed to transfer. Also ask what courses you should consider taking while you wait to complete your transfer. Until you're sure you can make the transfer, be sure also to take courses that work toward degree requirements in your current major. Work with your current advisor to build a schedule that meets your needs.
