Selecting a Major
Students should select a major by either the end of the third regular semester or upon the completion of 45 credit hours. This does not prohibit students from changing their major later in their careers; however, they will have difficulty completing requirements within eight semesters if they change majors after three semesters. Students who do not wish to pursue either a single discipline or course of study have interdisciplinary program options.
