A degree program consists of a major, a minor (required for non-comprehensive majors under the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees), and the applicable requirements associated with the degree (see the “General Baccalaureate Degree Requirements” section of this catalog). Students completing multiple majors in the same degree are considered to have only one degree.

Students must be admitted to a degree program before completing 60 credit hours or will be encumbered and not allowed to register. Without written permission by the dean of the student’s college, a student cannot be admitted to a baccalaureate degree program until he/she has completed or in currently enrolled for these General Education basic required courses: IDS 110/UHC 110, CIS/CSC 101 or CSC 111, COM 115, ENG 110, MTH 130 or higher, and PED 100.

Students who have declared a major will obtain an application form in the departmental office of their first major, and then arrange an appointment with their advisor to plan the remainder of their undergraduate studies. Students who are listed as undecided should go to the University Academic Advisement Center, University Hall 109, to declare a major and receive instructions on completing the process.
