Your major requirements will depend on when you entered UD (your "Catalog Year").
Students have the option of changing to a subsequent Catalog Year (e.g., if
requirements become more lenient after you start at UD, you may request to switch to
the more lenient requirements). Please contact the Director of Advising for more information.
