Admission to Degree Programs

When are you accepted into your major?

Students apply to a specific major generally during their sophomore year. However, the departments of architecture, business administration, computer science, engineering, exercise science, nuclear medicine technology, nursing, and occupational therapy admit freshmen directly to the major. Admission to the departments of music, theatre, dance, and music theatre require an audition.

Departmental Requirements

All baccalaureate candidates must successfully complete a program of study, either in a specific department's degree program, or in a Special Major program developed by the student. It's important for you to consult with your academic advisor; they can help you identify and complete the requirements for acceptance into a degree program. Once you've been accepted into a major, you're assigned a departmental advisor to help plan and implement your academic program.
