Ready to Declare the Major
There are two ways you can declare your major:
- Set up an appointment with an advisor you've had a class with or one whose area of specialization is closest to your interests. Visit our Faculty and Staff page to see our available advisors. At this appointment you'll complete a simple major application form and review coursework required for the major. Your advisor can also discuss skills acquired in the major, career opportunities as well as answer any questions you may have.
- Alternatively, you can log into your MyCWU account and declare it through your student dashboard.
