Hi! I’m about to attend UT next year, and I applied as an undeclared major. Can anyone tell me how the undeclared process works and when can you state your major? Thank!s!
I was undeclared in Liberal Arts. Basically how it works is that you have to spend at least one semester as undeclared and then you will be able to apply to your major during your second semester. Some major can be very competitive involve a whole application process, while some is so non-competitive that all you need to do is to go to their internal trasfer info session and put your name on a sign-in sheet.
I can say that it was extremely easy for me to transfer into mathematics 3 years ago-I didn’t attend a session or anything. I just walked to some office and told someone that I wanted to transfer to math and had to sign one paper and that was it. However, if I had wanted to transfer into CS (also in CNS just like math), it would have been extremely competitive and a much different process. So it will depend on what you are applying to.
