Explore Your Academic OptionsÌý

Thinking about changing your program, adding a major or minor, or exploring something new? Start by reflecting on your interests, strengthsÌýand career goals. The Career Centre is a great place to explore how different academic paths connect to future opportunities.

To get started, visit theÌýÌýpage and review steps 1-4. If you already know the change you want to make, check the timeline and requirements for your specific type of request (e.g., change of major, Faculty or degree). Some LA&PS programs have more specific timelines and processes.

IfÌýyou’dÌýlike help reviewing requirements or talking through your options for the coming year or beyond,Ìýconnect withÌýyour LA&PS Academic Advisor.Ìý
