FAQ Detail

Full-time students normally declare their major in the second semester of their second year, although some majors encourage students to declare even earlier in order to facilitate the planning needed for an appropriate sequence of the courses required to complete the major within four years. Please note that first year students are eligible to declare after their semester. Declaration is done by submitting a major/minor declaration form, available online at mymajor.sas.rutgers.edu. Some academic departments may have prerequisites and/or require approval by an advisor.

Students who have not declared their major and minor by the second semester of their third year may not be able to complete all requirements and, thus, not graduate on time.
