• How do I declare a major?
  • Using Banner, generate a “Degree Evaluation” for yourself and print it out. With the help of that information, fill out a Declaration/Change of Major Form (PDF) to the best of your ability. Then make an appointment with any department advisor to complete and sign the form. When you and your advisor have signed the Declaration Form, take it to the Registrar’s Office in Blow Hall.

Many faculty have information on teaching and research interests posted on their web pages, accessible from the department’s faculty directory.

  • Just schedule an appointment with your intended advisor or stop by during his or her office hours.
