Application for a Major or Minor

Undeclared students who wish to apply for a major or minor should make an appointment with an adviser in Academic Counseling and Advising to complete a Major and/or Minor Approval form. Acceptance into the major program of study is at the discretion of the academic department. Students who are completing courses to meet high school course deficiencies and/or to satisfy entry competencies (i.e., required academic development courses) may apply for a major or minor only after successful completion of those requirements. Students are advised by the department of their major after acceptance into the major.

A transfer student who has an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree, and has met the prerequisites for the intended major at SIUE will be accepted to the major program of study upon admission to the University.

To change your major or minor, go to the department of your intended new major to complete a Major and/or Minor Approval form.

Those who have applied for a major and wish to apply for a second major or minor should submit their request to the department of the primary major. You may request a minor when applying for a major, or later, by submitting a request to the major department.
