Declaring a Major

All KU undergraduate students must declare a major prior to the completion of 60 credits.
Once you have talked with your Exploratory Studies advisor to be sure you meet all the
qualifications for your major of choice, you can contact the academic department in which you
would like to declare. Students are strongly encouraged to work with their current academic advisor and Career Development Center staff to clarify their education and career goals and declare their major.
