Double Majoring

If you are requesting a second major (option), it must have at least 24-70 unique units not double-counted with your primary major. Please review the University Catalog's Declaration of Minors and Additional Majors section under Academic Policies for the specific number of units you can double-count.

Tips for Using this Tool

What it means if the major requires a change of major meeting: You may be required to attend a meeting before you can submit the change of major form. The tool includes any information about these requirements, and a link to upcoming meetings if that’s available. If you’re not sure, ask the academic department if there are meetings and when they are being held.

How to check your GPA: You can check your GPA in the GPA section of your Degree Progress Report or at the bottom of your unofficial transcript. Your DPR has your cumulative, core and CPP GPAs, while your unofficial transcript has just your cumulative GPA. 

The difference between impacted and non-impacted: If a major is impacted, it means that Change of Major requests are only processed to be effective in the fall semester, and are subject to available space.

What it means when you need a specific course: Some majors may require passing prerequisite courses before they can apply to change their major. Use the Course Catalog to learn more about what those courses are, and if there are any additional prerequisites. Use your Degree Progress Report to know if you’ve already completed the course. Use the BroncoDirect Class Search to see if those courses are scheduled for an upcoming term, or visit the academic department to see if they have projected course offerings. Finally, plan to talk to your academic advisor to confirm if you’re ready to take these courses.

Compare and contrast what you’re interested in: If you’re between majors, look at the requirements for switching and consider how long it’ll take you to meet the change of major requirements.

The timing of submitting your change of major form: For some majors, you can submit the change of major form at any time. For others, you may have a specific deadline to officially change your major that year. The tool includes any special instructions about timing.
