Undergraduate Forms
Declaring a Major or Minor
You do not need a special appointment with an Advisor to declare, unless you are declaring in conjunction with mandatory advising. It is strongly recommended that you come in to familiarize yourself with the opportunities available in the Philosophy Department.
If you've read and understand the relevant requirements for your chosen program, you are ready to declare. Download, fill out, print and sign the appropriate form and bring it to the Philosophy Department between normal business hours.
Alternatively, you can pick one up from the Receptionist (during normal business hours) and fill it out in a matter of minutes. If you would like an appointment with an advisor, contact Connie Corbett or Anne Peterson.
