How to Declare a Major

To declare a major in Educational Studies major, students should choose a professor in Educational Studies to be their major advisor. The advisor will approve the major essay, help students complete the Degree Requirements Worksheet, and sign the Declaration of Major form.

Once students have met with their major advisor, they are required to submit:

1. Two copies of the Declaration of Major form, filing one copy with the program chair and one copy with the Registrar. (Available from the Registrar's office or on Rhodes Express online.)
2. The Degree Requirements Worksheet, filing one copy with the program chair and one copy with the Registrar. (Available from the Registrar's office or on Rhodes Express online.)
3. The final, advisor approved, major essay. Email the essay as a Word document to Major_E.ymfk84k3izod0rl9@u.box.com so that it can be archived. The file name for the essay should be as follows: student’s last name, student’s first name, and graduation year.

NOTE: Secondary licensure students will double major and will have two major advisors, one in Educational Studies and the other in their content area major.
