Declare a major or minor


We're glad you are interested in Declaring a Major or a Minor "Language Studies" in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics! It's really quite simple:

STEP 1: Talk with one of our intake Advisors, Dr. Solange Lopes-Murphy or Dr. Ann Rider. They can also help you if you're considering a Combined Degree/Double Major.

STEP 2: Contact the office of the Associate Dean for Student Academic Affairs, Stalker 122, and complete the appropriate form. The phone number for that office is 812-237-2781. For more information, see their web page.
