Fall 2018 Major-Specific Degree Requirements for Ӱ Ӱ- CNSM

Ӱ students must meet precise major-specific degree criteria in order to ‘declare a major.’ While first-year students are admitted directly into some majors, many majors require that students begin as pre-majors and then declare the major if and when they complete the major-specific degree criteria. All students must have a declared major by the time they reach 60 earned units.

This applies equally to students who are:

  • Undeclared
  • Were admitted into a ‘pre-major’ and are requesting to declare the major
  • Requesting to change major
  • Requesting to add a major

Except for “Highly Impacted” majors, native Ӱ students can ‘declare a major’ if they meet the major-specific minimum cumulative GPA and required lower division preparation. There are limitations on the ability to add a second major or to add/change degree objectives based on the following policies:

To review the detailed major-specific degree requirements select the major below. If a major is highly impacted it will be noted next to the name of the major and additional supplemental criteria and requirements are indicated in the major-specific details. They are subject to change for future terms.
