Declaring a Major

"Globalization affects different countries differently, and in every country there are 'winners' and 'losers'" says Anthropology professor Joe Lugalla in his class on globalization for first-year students. Learn more in the College Letter (page 4)

Students entering the University as first-year or transfer students may declare Anthropology as part of the Admissions process.

If you are a continuing student interested in declaring Anthropology as your major, you will need to complete the change of program process outlined below. Students are expected to make steady progress towards fulfillment of major requirements. Normally, this means taking at least one Anthropology course per semester until all requirements have been met. 

The change of program process

Obtain a yellow change of program form from the Registrar's Office or download one here. If you are an undeclared major, you should meet with your undergraduate advisor at Hood House to start the process. If you are a declared major, you should meet with your major advisor to start the process. Your advisor will sign you out of your current major and provide you with your student academic file. Continue to obtain appropriate signatures on the form following the order listed on the bottom of the form. Your final step will be to submit your completed form to the Liberal Arts Dean's Office in 110 Murkland Hall.
