We are excited you want to pursue a major at the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences!

The information below will help you get started with the process of declaring your major. If you do not qualify for the major you want due to GPA below a 2.0, any advisor can declare you as No Major Selected - Social and Behavioral Sciences. Students can meet with the advisor for NMS-SBS and discuss their path forward.

This page is for current University of Arizona students only. If you are an incoming student, you can change your major through the UA Next Steps website: https://nextsteps.arizona.edu/.
