BSBA Change of Major/Add Secondary Major

Choosing the correct major is an important decision and will play a critical role in your success here at Georgia Tech and when you enter the job market. Our change of major process is designed to verify student eligibility and help students successfully transition into the Scheller College of Business. Please read through this entire page for important information and instructions.

1. The purpose of this process is to orient you to our major requirements, academic advising, internship, and leadership expectations, as well as the resources in the Scheller College of Business.
2. First-year students: must wait until after the withdrawal deadline date in their first semester to change their major. For first year students admitted for Summer, the restriction is lifted after the withdraw deadline of their second semester of enrollment. All other restrictions also apply.
3. Transfer students: must wait until after the completion of their first semester and final grades are posted.
4. Students must be in Good academic standing, meaning cannot be on Academic Warning, Probation, nor Dismissal. This information can be found at the top of your degreeworks.
5. Students with 60 or more credits need to have at least a 2.3 cumulative GPA to be considered to change their major to Business Administration.
6. Complete the steps outlined in the canvas course and submit the qualtrics application. If you have any questions, contact Marcus Reese. Please do not email advisors directly.
7. Completion of the canvas course and application does not guarantee your change of major/add secondary major will be approved.
8. You are not obligated to change your major/add secondary major once you complete the process.
9. The Scheller College of Business does not accept students who are currently on academic contracts with another department at Georgia Tech. Departmental contracts must be successfully completed prior to being eligible to change major to Business Administration.

All students will be removed from the BSBA Change of Major/Add Secondary Major Canvas Course at the end of each application window, and progress will not be saved. To avoid this, students should aim to complete all items in the BSBA Change of Major/Add Secondary Major Canvas Course and the Application within the application window or they will have to start the canvas course over when the next application window opens.
Major restrictions will be lifted on Monday, December 2nd.

1. Students who are interested in changing their major/adding secondary major will complete a canvas course that gives a broad overview of our advising and career services, the BSBA curriculum, and the opportunities they will have as a Scheller student.

2. Upon completion of the canvas course, the student will submit an application where their student record will be evaluated to confirm they are eligible to change their major/add secondary major.

3. After eligibility is determined, the student will be contacted about next steps.

4. After you are approved to change your major, you will schedule an appointment with your new advisor.

5. Completion of the canvas course and application does not guarantee a major change/add secondary major.
