Program Changes

Students who wish to change degree objective (e.g., from master's to PhD or vice versa while keeping the same major), who are currently enrolled in a degree program and who have not had a break in their enrollment (summer sessions are the exception), can file a Change in Student Records or Programs of Study form.

Students who wish to change their major (e.g., from a master's of engineering to a master's of mathematics), must solicit admission to the Graduate College and to the new major department as if they were a new admission. Admission to a new major is not guaranteed.

Students who have previously been enrolled in a graduate degree program, but who have had a break in their enrollment of at least one semester (summer sessions excepted), are required to apply for readmission to the Graduate College.

Non-degree students must apply for regular graduate admission once they decide to pursue a specific graduate degree. Admission is not guaranteed. Not more than 12 credit hours taken while in non-degree status may count toward a graduate degree.
