How Easy is It to Switch Major for Purdue

Current enrolled Purdue undergraduate students* wanting to change their major to a College of Health and Human Sciences (HHS) major, add a second major or degree, or switch to another HHS major should talk to their current academic advisor and follow these steps:
*If you have recently been admitted to Purdue University for an upcoming term you may be able to change your academic major through the Office of Admissions Application Portal. Please visit your Admissions Portal for more information.
Learn about your major of interest:
There are several ways to gather information about HHS majors and changing your major to one in HHS:
