Declaring the Major

Students who apply to, and are admitted to the University and want to major in communication are directly admitted into the major. For current UMD students interested in declaring the major (either changing to the Communication major or declaring a double major) should follow the process below:

1. Meet with a communication advisor to begin a 4-year plan;
2. Take the World Language Placement; and
3. Meet with an Arts and Humanities advisor to complete a 4-year plan.
