Eligibility for Declaring a Major

A minimum GPA of 2.0 is generally required to declare a major and/or a minor at Kutztown University (KU) and in some departments a GPA higher than a 2.0 may be required. For example, to declare a major in the College of Education, a 3.0 GPA is required. Some majors have additional eligibility requirements, procedures and deadlines. Contact the secretary in the academic department of your intended major to obtain information about the current eligibility requirements. 

Effective Date of Change

All changes of major and minor are made effective during the Drop/Add period (first week of classes) of either the fall or spring semester. If you request a change of major or minor after the Drop/Add period, you may submit your paperwork, but your major/minor change will not take effect until the following semester.
