During your time at Northwest, you may decide that the major you picked out isn’t for you, and that’s OK. About 65%85% of beginning students change their major, according to Northwest’s Student Success Center. After all, why study in a field you don’t enjoy or that you don’t want to work in after graduation? Changing your major can be scary, but Northwest does a great job of making the
process easy. If you decide to change your major during your time here at Northwest, talk to your academic adviser about the change. Your adviser will assist you in the transition to your new major. In addition to the help from your adviser, Northwest’s Student Success Center can also help in the transition if you need them. After talking with your current adviser, you will fill out an “Adviser Change Request Form” that is available online. Once you meet with your new adviser and
get the “Adviser Change Request Form” signed by them, you will have changed your major. When I changed my major here at Northwest, I was worried that my adviser would be upset with me, but of course, that wasn’t the case. I was met with nothing but understanding and excitement for my new opportunities. So, if you’re having thoughts about changing your major, don’t stress. Everyone here at Northwest wants to see you succeed in the field that you want to be a part of.
