What is a major and minor?
A major is a specialized field of study working toward your bachelor’s degree. By declaring a major you are agreeing to take particular classes to earn your degree. Usually one-third of your studies will be in you major. A minor is also a specialized field and requires that you takes a cluster of classes in your specified field but the requirements are less than for a major. A minor can complement your major. For example a major in psychology is complemented by a minor in sociology. Once you have officially declared a major either on your original Application for Admission or a Change of Major Form you will be under the catalog for that year. If you later change your mind about your degree plans you must file a Change of Major Form and you may be changing catalogs as well.
