Want to Declare IB as a Major?

 

  • Are you in biological sciences (or biology unassigned)? If you are a freshman or sophomore in biological sciences (sometimes called biology unassigned), you may declare IB as a major at the beginning of a semester or before the early registration period for the following semester. Check out the LAS web site for specific dates and other important information. You will need a Change of Major Form from the College, which you may pick up from the LAS Office of Student Academic Affairs (270 Lincoln Hall) or download from LAS. You will also need the signature of an IB academic advisor. To make an appointment, call 333-6774. Return the signed form to 270 Lincoln Hall.

  • Are you in another major in LAS? If you want to transfer to IB from another major within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, follow the instructions above. You will need to talk with an IB advisor before you do anything else to make sure you meet the requirements of the major and follow the rules for transferring. Call 333-6774 to schedule an appointment.

  • Are you in a major in another College? If you wish to transfer into IB from a college other than the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you must follow Intercollegiate Transfer or second degree application procedures and guidelines, available here. You must also talk with an IB advisor before applying for a transfer. Call 333-6774 to schedule an appointment.

    If none of these options quite fits your circumstances, please visit an IB advisor or an advisor in your home college for specific information about your situation. Call 333-6774 to schedule an appointment.
