Major Declaration
Declaring a Major in the Hajim School
- Make an appointment with your assigned departmental faculty advisor and/or undergraduate coordinator. (generally during your sophomore year)
- Complete a curriculum planning form that you will receive from your advisor.
- Complete part B: "Primary Writing Requirement".
- Then complete part C: "Rochester Curriculum Registration", following the guidelines on the back of the form. See How To Declare Clusters for more details. Note that students who complete one of the professionally accredited Engineering concentrations (BME, CHE, ECE, ME) need to complete a cluster in only one of the other two divisions.
- You will be notified when you are admitted to the major.
Note: students who complete a second major/degree in Arts and Sciences must complete all of the requirements for that major and degree. For example, a student completing a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering and a BA degree with a major in Physics, must complete both clusters in order to fulfill the requirements for the BA degree with a major in Physics.
