In order to officially declare Justice Studies as a dual major, you will need to have either entered UNH with a declared major other than justice studies, or, if you entered as undeclared, you must have recently declared a first major. Alternately, you can declare your first major at the same time as you declare the justice studies dual major. You must also have a GPA of a 2.50 or better; therefore, you must have at least completed your first semester of study at UNH.
To declare, you will need to complete the Change of Program process (outlined below). Once the Change of Program has been submitted, you will be automatically admitted to the program.
You may declare a dual major or minor in Justice Studies at any time. Currently, there is no set deadline to do so.
New England Regional Student Program
If you are a resident of Massachusetts, Maine, or Vermont, you may be eligible for reduced tuition under the New England Regional Student Compact once you declare your dual major in Justice Studies. Learn more about the program through the UNH Admissions Office at the link below.
