Switching College

Students enrolled in other UMTC colleges wanting to transfer to CLA or add a CLA degree as an additional degree must submit the Undergraduate Change of College & Additional Degree Application.

If you are applying for an additional degree, keep in mind that CLA degree programs include some requirements that your current college may not. Students who plan to earn a CLA degree in addition to their first degree must meet all CLA degree requirements.  

Students enrolled at the University of Minnesota Rochester wanting to transfer to CLA must submit the Undergraduate Change of College & Additional Degree Application.

Earning a CLA Major/Minor (non-CLA students)

It is possible for students outside of the College of Liberal Arts to earn a CLA major or minor without adding the degree. To add a major or minor in CLA, students must file a major/minor form from CLA Student Services, 16 Johnston Hall, for the major/minor to be posted to the student record.

For more information on declaring a major or minor in CLA, contact the appropriate CLA department.  Some major/minor declaration forms are filed online. The department you are working with will let you know how to declare the major or minor. When you meet with a departmental advisor to declare a CLA major, tell the advisor about your current college/major.
