Change of Major

The Change of Major process pertains to current Northeastern University undergraduate day school students. Only Northeastern undergraduate day school credentials are considered in the Change of Major process. Coursework completed prior to matriculation in the Northeastern undergraduate day school will not be considered.

Schedule a meeting with an academic advisor in the requested major. Program requirements and foundational coursework will be discussed at this time. Appointments may be made online through the Navigate appointment calendar.
