Why should you declare a Major?

Declaring a major is one of the simplest ways of making your university experience better.

You will become eligible for the Dean's List and departmental awards and scholarships that faculty and department heads award to their own students. It’s the same as the lottery … If you don’t buy a ticket, you can’t win.

You will get priority in class enrollment. Makes sense, doesn’t it? You don’t get something for nothing. Like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, “Quid pro quo, Clarice, quid pro quo.”

You will be able to shape a quality university experience for yourself . Let’s face it - the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is a big place. By declaring a major in a certain department, you have a home base. Developing relationships with other students and faculty members will enhance both your personal and future professional life, wherever that takes you.

You will have made a decision to study what you love . You are taking control of your own life… we know it’s scary but most worthwhile things in life are (you can always change your mind!).
