How to Declare
HOW TO DECLARE A MAJOR OR A MINOR
Declaring a politics major
Select one of our two majors, Foreign Affairs (concentrate in IR or CP) or Government (concentrate in AP or PT). The declaration form you will submit is a plan to ensure you understand the major requirements, we understand the plan will change depending on your interest and course offerings. Pay attention to subfield and level requirements and note that AP & dual-enrollment courses do not count towards major requirements. Politics course listings can be found on Hoos List or SIS.
Submit your major declaration using the Declare a Major or Minor form on the College website. Instructions for logging in and accessing the form can be found at the above link. Be sure to select the correct major so that we receive your declaration.
Having trouble using the form? Email CollegeForms@virginia.edu with as much information as possible about your specific problem.
