Does a student have to declare a major right away? What if the student doesn’t know what he/she wants to major in?
No, students do not have to declare a major right away. Students who choose not to declare a major at the point of admission to the University of Houston will be offered assistance through UScholars that will help them later make an informed decision about a major field of study. All UScholars students must declare a major by the beginning of their junior year (60 credit hours), if they have not already done so.
