<p>You declare your major when you have 4th semester standing. Usually that is at the end of 2 years. If you come in with advanced standing (AP credits, transfer credits) it may occur in your first year. You’ll get an adviser in your intended major and follow an appropriate schedule for the major. Everyone has to meet the entrance to major requirements (GPA, prerequisite courses) at the time of declaration. </p>
