BW's Majors and Minors:

The BW Catalog provides official details on majors and minors, including courses and policies. Always confirm you’re using the correct catalog year for accurate planning.

You can also use the Student Planning tool to view your program requirements and track your progress toward completion.

Not sure about your major/minor?

It’s normal for interests and goals to evolve! If you’re considering a new academic path, we can help you explore options, understand requirements, and create a plan that supports your success.

We encourage students to talk with their advisors or the Office of Academic Advising before changing their Major since frequent changes in majors and minors can lead to additional coursework and semesters to graduation.

Discover your strengths:

Career assessment tools can help you identify your skills, values, and interests. Understanding these areas makes it easier to choose a major that aligns with your goals and sets you up for success in your future career.

Explore available majors and minors:

The BW Catalog is a good resource for reviewing all available majors and their requirements. Be sure to select the correct catalog year that matches your academic record. Your catalog year is the year you started at BW.

View a new program:

Use the “View a New Program” button in Student Planning to see all requirements for a different major and how your completed coursework counts toward it. This tool helps you plan ahead before making any changes.

Meet with an Academic Advisor:

If you’re considering a new major, schedule a meeting with a general academic advisor. We’ll review the requirements for your potential major and help you explore options that align with your interests and career goals.
