At Nazareth, you do not have to select a major until the end of your sophomore year. Some majors require a decision earlier than that, but generally the first two years can be a time of exploration, reflection, and self-evaluation. We encourage undeclared students to use this time to think about their interests and goals. During this time, you can also take courses that fulfill core requirements and expose you to a wide variety of areas of study.
Students, email the department chairperson or program director (see list) of the program you want to are declare and request approval to declare that major or minor. Forward the approval to advisement@naz.edu, and your request will be processed.
Questions? Call 585-389-2871 or email advisement@naz.edu.
To change or declare your major, complete a Declaration or Change of Major Form. To complete/print/save the form electronically, you must download and save the form on your computer and use Adobe Acrobat (free software) to open the form and fill it out. Otherwise you can print and fill out the form on paper.
This form must be approved by the department chair of the desired major and returned to the Academic Advisement office.
