Declare Your Major
Choosing a major is an important step in your college journey. Students are expected to declare a major before earning 60 credits so they can stay on track for graduation and make the most of their academic experience.
How to Declare a Major
Complete the Declaration of Major Form, which can be filled out electronically and saved as a PDF:
- Open the form and enter your information.
- Save the completed form as a PDF.
- Send the PDF to your desired faculty advisor for signature approval.
- Submit the form to the Registrar’s Office - printed forms can be brought by the student to the Registrar’s Office in Elliot Center, or the faculty member can upload the form to the Declaration of Major & Advisor upload portal.
Choosing a Faculty Advisor
When you declare a major, you will select a faculty member from that academic program to serve as your advisor. Your advisor can help you with:
- Academic planning
- Career exploration
- Graduate school preparation
- Course selection
If you are not sure which faculty member to choose, the department chair can help you identify an advisor.
Majors with Entry Requirements
Some majors require specific courses or an application process before admission. You can find program requirements and course information in the Keene State College Academic Catalog.
