Undergraduate students interested in declaring a major in educational studies have the following options:
 

The four-year education b.a. 

Students interested in this major must meet with an Education Department advisor to review program requirements. Pending results of that meeting, follow the directions in the ‘Change of Program Process’ section below.

Educational Studies dual major 

In order to officially declare Educational Studies as a dual major, students will need to have either entered UNH with a declared major other than Educational Studies, or, if entered as undeclared, have already declared a first major. A GPA of 2.50 or better is required; therefore, students must have at least completed at least one semester of study at UNH. 

While there is no deadline to declare, students will want to map out a plan to fit in all their coursework before their intended graduation. Next, complete an (1) Intent to Dual Major Form , AND (2) follow the directions in the ‘Change of Program Process’ section below
