It will be helpful to you and your academic advisor if you let us know your current thinking about what academic
major(s) you may be interested in pursuing at Pacific. Certain majors require that students promptly enter a
carefully prescribed and sequenced series of courses. Students must formally declare a major by the end of the
sophomore year, though they may do so earlier (see the Registrar to do this). Using the following list, number the
major(s) in which you are interested in order of your preference/level of interest (“1” = most interested). To
review the nature of each major area, access http://www.pacificu.edu/as and click on the academic
department/major links on the left side of the web page; for other general information, access the College Catalog
at http://www.pacificu.edu/catalog
