A student who is currently registered in a program at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences may apply for a change of department or program by completing the proper form and submitting a detailed description of the reason for the change.
Students may request a change:
- from one Ph.D. program to another Ph.D. program
- from a Ph.D. program to a free-standing Master's program
- from one free-standing Master's program to another.
NOTE: A change of department or program is not allowed from a free-standing Master's program to a Ph.D. program. A change of department or program form should not be used to apply to another division or school of the University; a formal application for admission to the intended school is required.
Change of department requests cannot be made within the first semester of enrollment.
Approval for such requests is made solely at the discretion of the Dean and of the faculty of the department or program to which the student is applying.
Once the request is approved, the student is considered to be fully enrolled in the new department or program; the corresponding enrollment in the prior department does not exist. Therefore it is strongly recommended that students weigh carefully the decision to change their department or program.
Ph.D. fellows who wish to change to another Ph.D. program should consult with the faculty of that department before formally applying. A Ph.D. fellowship is not automatically transferred to the new program. The faculty of the new program are under no obligation to continue the fellowship from the original department.
