Declaring or Changing a Major or Certificate

New students indicate their intended major on the MSU Denver Application for Admission. While students may select “Exploratory” as a major at the time of admission, all degree-seeking students must declare a major before completion of 45 credits. Degree-seeking students who transfer in more than 45 credits must declare a major before registering for a second semester. Students who wish to change a major and students pursuing a certificate program must complete a Declaration/Change of Major form, which is available from the Office of the Registrar.
