Change of Concentration or Major
Active, degree-seeking graduate-level students may change or add a concentration, program, major, or certificate by submitting a Change of Concentration or Change of Major online form request through myWings. If your status is inactive or you have not been admitted into a degree-seeking program, you will need to apply for graduate admissions.
Please note that students pursuing two graduate degrees must graduate with both degrees in the same term. Students who do not complete the degree requirements for both degrees will be required to select one degree upon graduation.FAQs
