General information about Internship opportunities at Marist:
Students interested in changing or adding a major should start by exploring options in the Academic Catalog and meeting with an academic advisor or department Chairperson to determine if the major is the right fit. Once a decision is made, students must complete a Change of Major form in my.Marist.edu and submit it to the Chairperson of the department housing that major. The Chairperson will review and approve the form, then forward it to the Registrar's Office for processing. Afterward, the Center for Advising and Academic Services will assign the student a new advisor in their updated major.
