Thoughtful consideration should be given to the selection of a major. It is not necessary to declare a major during the freshman year. Careful selection of courses in the general interest area is recommended. Requirements for a major are set by each school. By the end of the sophomore year, students must officially declare a major. Transfer students with an associate degree must declare a major upon entering the University. When declaring a major, students must submit a formal application to the respective school dean. At this time, a faculty advisor will be assigned. Majors offered at Florida Memorial University are:
