Changing Your Major

If you're considering changing to a different CFANS major, follow the steps below.

Changing Majors Within CFANS

To change your major:

  1. Make an appointment with an academic advisor for the major that you're considering. Learn more about the major's requirements and ask questions. Be sure that you are admissible to the major of interest; several CFANS majors have additional GPA, course, or portfolio entrance requirements that you must satisfy before you're eligible for admission.
  2. Complete a "CFANS Major & Track Form". Be sure to indicate on the form which academic advisor you met with for the major you are declaring.

Changing to a Major in a Different U of M College (not CFANS)

Students who want to change to a major in a different U of M college (in the Twin Cities or at a coordinate campus) should consult with the department that offers the prospective major. Learn more about it, determine its admission requirements, and apply.

Submit your change of college application using the electronic application for undergraduate change of college.
