Declaring a Major
If you are a student seeking a baccalaureate degree, you must declare a major field of study by the time you are classified as a junior. You will be classified a junior when 58 credits have been earned.
| Student Classifications | |
|---|---|
| Classification | Definition |
| Freshman | Has earned 0 to 25 credits. |
| Sophomore | Has earned 26 to 57 credits. Sophomore is the maximum classification for students in associates or certificate programs. |
| Junior | Has earned 58 to 89 credits. |
| Senior | Has earned 90 or more credits or is pursuing a second baccalaureate degree. |
| Graduate | Has earned a baccalaureate degree, has been admitted to the Graduate College, and is pursuing a graduate degree. |
For your convenience, if you are a student who has not yet selected a major field of study (undeclared), you can declare a major by logging on to your myBoiseState Student Center and select Change My Major in the My Academics tab.
