Major Declaration

All students enter Elon University as undeclared even if they have identified a major path. New transfer students may declare their major at the start of their time at Elon University. New first-year students must wait to declare their major until the end of their first semester on-campus.

Before declaring your major for the first time or updating your major(s) and minor(s), please review our Major Declaration FAQs. These can be found on the left-hand navigator.
