How to Add or Change a Major
Are you interested in adding a second major or changing your degree to Anthropology, Criminology or Sociology? We can help with that.
Change of Degree Applications
To add or change majors, students must complete NC State’s Change of Degree Application (CODA). Eligible students must have completed 12 or more graded credit hours at NC State and have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
