Admission requirements are subject to change. For more information click on the name of the major, or contact the departmental advising office.
Majors with open admission can be declared at any time by students whose GPA is at least 2.0. Majors with minimum admission requirements have set requirements, such as completing 10 credits in the department with a GPA of 2.5. In general, these majors admit all applicants who meet the minimum admission requirements, with no further screening or selection. Majors with competitive admission have admission requirements and a selective screening; they often have an application deadline, and may require test scores, portfolios, auditions, letters of recommendation, and/or interviews. Completion of the admission requirements does not guarantee admission to competitive majors. Some majors admit only once per year. Consult an adviser.
