Declaring a Second Major
CALS students can declare a second undergraduate major as long as both majors are within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Interested students should contact the department of interest in order to discuss requirements and identify a second faculty advisor. Students must complete the requirements set forth by both departments in order to graduate with a double major. It is the student’s responsibility to keep both faculty advisors informed of course enrollments. In addition, when filing the Application to Graduate, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain signatures from both faculty advisors in order to graduate with a double major. Students interested in declaring a second major must fill out the Declaration of Second Undergraduate Major form available here, or in the Counseling and Advising Office, 140 Roberts Hall.
Students wishing to drop or change their second major need the Change in Second Undergraduate Major form also available in 140 Roberts Hall.
Declaring a Minor
CALS students can declare a minor from the list of minors below which have been reviewed by the CALS Curriculum Committee. It is not necessary to file paperwork with the Counseling and Advising Office. Students interested in completing a minor should speak to the specific department for requirements. When filing the Application to Graduate, it is the student’s responsibility to identify the minor and to obtain signatures from both the major and minor advisors on the Application to Graduate in order to graduate with a minor.
