What is a major? Do I have to declare one?
A major is an organized program of courses within a discipline leading to an Associate Degree, Vocational Certificate, or transfer to a college or university. It is not mandatory for a student to declare a major. Normally, when you apply for admissions, there is a space for you to declare a major. If you haven’t declared a major, and you would like to or if you have declared one and would like to change it you would need to fill out a Personal Information Update form in the Admissions and Records Office. You may want to meet with a counselor for assistance in major selection.
