Changing Majors |
|
Are you considering changing your major to Agricultural Leadership & Development,
Agricultural Science or Agricultural Communications & Journalism? |
|
If you are, then please read the following information carefully. It outlines important
procedures and deadlines that are part of our decision-making processes.
|
|
Step 1: Please study this Web site and your University Catalog
(the large book you received when you first came to Texas A&M) to make sure
that you understand the course requirements and the focus of each major you are
considering. All three differ in focus and in the career choices. You need to be
prepared to answer questions about why you selected a given major and how that major
fits into your long-term goals.
|
|
Step 2: Using the links below, please click on your desired major.
You will have access to a Web-based application form where you can tell us about
yourself and your goals.
|
|
Step 3: Complete all the blanks and questions on the form. Consider
your answers carefully and allow sufficient time to complete the application. Your
answers are important and, in some instances, they provide the primary information
we use to make our admission decisions. Please note the word limit on each section.
The computer will not allow you to submit any answers over those limits.
|
|
Step 4: Wait for an e-mail notifying you of our decision. Each
major follows different time schedules and procedures from this point. The schedules
and procedures are outlined below. |
