How to declare a major in history

Here is a detailed description of the major declaring process.

There are four steps to declaring a history major:

1. Select your major advisor - any full-time history faculty member may serve - and schedule an appointment.
2. Complete the required forms
   • Declaration of Major Form (fill out sections A and B, but don’t worry about section C)
   • Supplemental Declaration Form
   • AP Form for History Majors (if you have AP credits in history)
3. Meet with your major advisor to finalize your forms.
   • In addition to your forms, bring a copy of your Degree Evaluation or Degree Works report, which you can generate on Banner.
4. Submit the completed and signed forms to the Registrar's Office. Your advisor will submit a copy to the department's Director for Undergraduate Studies. Keep a copy for your records.
