How to declare a major

When starting within the College of Business, all students are initially declared as "Pre-Business" majors. Aside from other non-business courses, these students only have access to lower-division (100- and 200-level) Pre-Business Core courses within The College of Business.

To access any upper-division (300- and 400-level) Business courses (e.g. FIN 301, SCM 352, MGT 301), a student must apply to The College of Business and be formally admitted to one of our Business majors.

Eligibility requirements to declare a Business major:

• Minimum UNR GPA of 2.0 or better
• Calculus and Composition II are completed or in progress
• All Pre-Business Core courses are completed or in progress (no more than 1 course remaining)
• Most of General Education/Silver Core Curriculum is completed or in progress (no more than 4 courses remaining)

The deadline to apply for Major Declaration is before Prepare for the Fair.

The deadline has passed. Please contact your assigned advisor if you are eligible to declare your major.
