At preregistration in the spring before the end of the sophomore year, students with an undeclared major are obliged to declare formally their major field for the ensuing two years. Students wishing to study abroad in junior year are expected to declare majors at the time of application for the junior year abroad program. Although every attempt will be made to honor the students first choice of a major, admission to a particular major shall be by permission of the department concerned and ultimately of the dean. Students following a curriculum in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics normally elect their program prior to registration for their first year. Nonetheless, these students are directed to reconfirm their major in the spring of sophomore year both with their academic department and the dean.
During the course of the degree, it is generally expected that a students academic achievement in courses required in the major be at a level of C or better. A student achieving grades in major courses consistently below this standard may be directed by the dean to elect a different major.
The major program includes the required courses as specified in the curriculum. The student must receive departmental approval for all courses in his or her major field.
