Change of curriculum applicants are reviewed by the program faculty. A key application element is the essay identifying how this major aligns with career goals. Acceptance rate into the program is dependent on the available space or number of students that can be accommodated. Graduation numbers are monitored to determine space available in the program.
Note: Applicants are reviewed by committee and admitted on a competitive basis. Meeting the minimum requirements listed does not guarantee admission.
- Students are reviewed during the semester they apply and must complete the change of major process during the semester they apply. Once approved and the change of major process has been completed, students will officially become HRD majors the semester following their application processing. For instance, students applying in the fall semester must complete the change of major process during the fall and will begin as a HRD major in the spring semester.
- Prospective change of major students must meet the minimum change of major requirements detailed above at the time of application.
