Declaration Declination

Students who do not have at least a C or above in each prerequisite course will not be allowed to declare this major.  Students who are not eligible to declare are strongly encouraged to meet with their LSA advisor as soon as possible to discuss other major plans. Students may repeat the prerequisite courses if a C grade or better is not earned.

If a student is not eligible to declare the Communication and Media major, coursework in Communication and Media is still extremely beneficial and may count toward overall bachelor's degree requirements.
