Majors and Minors

Today I just declared my second minor at USD. I was already a business administration major and an international business minor, but I decided to declare a Peace and Justice Studies minor. Declaring minors is relatively simple. All you need to do is print off and fill out the form online and take it into the One Stop Student Center. Declaring a major is a little more difficult in that you must receive an advisor signature. USD is great in that students are allowed to declare at any time during their academic career. I knew prior to starting school that I wanted to be a business major and thus I declared as a first semester freshman. Some people declare as late as second semester sophomore year. I think the choice as to when you want to declare is great because everyone moves at a different pace and some people want to try a little bit of everything before they find their area of expertise while others want to start on their major right away.
