What is meant by major and minor? When do I have to decide?
Within a program, a major is an academic discipline area chosen as an area of specialization. A minor is also an area of specialization and would contain less coursework than a major area of study. If you are in a diploma program, your major must usually be decided by the second year of study. Students in university transfer programs must usually declare their major by their third year of study, but appropriate course planning may need to take place earlier than the third year. Please see an academic advisor for information about specific program planning.
