Declaration or Change of Major/Minor
All baccalaureate degree seeking students must declare a specific major by the time 60 hours have been completed. A major or minor may be changed and a second major or minor declared by notifying the Office of Student Records.
All associate degree seeking students must declare a specific major by the time they apply for an associate degree.
Multiple Majors/Minors
Baccalaureate degree-seeking students
Except as noted below, baccalaureate degree seeking students may major in more than one subject area. All degree requirements must be met for each major that is declared. If a student selects one major, two minors may also be earned. However, if a student selects two majors, no minors may be selected. The student will be assigned an advisor in each subject area. After completing the requirements for up to two majors or one major and two minors, a student falls under the requirements for earning “an additional baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University.”
To earn an additional baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University in another major, a student must complete an additional 30 hours in residency, 15 hours of which must be advanced hours (3000 or above). The student must fulfill the requirements of that major, including both major and required related requirement, with a minimum of 15 hours in that major.
Students declaring Liberal Studies or Interdisciplinary Studies as their major may not have a second major or a minor. These majors were designed particularly for working professionals seeking to broaden their skills and enhance their opportunity for advancement.
A major or minor change or declaration of a second major or minor must be done through the Office of Student Records.
Associate Degree-seeking Students
A student seeking an associate degree may not have multiple majors or a minor. Additionally, a student may not receive a second associate degree. These limitations do not preclude multiple majors or minors if the student persists to a subsequent bachelor’s degree. A student must declare a major in an associate degree program at the time of application for an associate degree.
