Changing/Adding a Minor
Go to Student Center
At Chapman, you can request to change or add a minor as a secondary area of study
alongside your major.
Minors are a great way to explore a subject separate from your major and expand your
skillset. They can also fulfill your
Exploration Focus
(one of your
General Education Requirements
).
All minors, except for Dodge College minors and the
University Honors Program
, can be requested via the form in your
Student Center
. To apply to a Dodge College minor, log in to the
Dodge College Portal
with your Chapman credentials.
For all other minors, follow the steps below.
Steps to change or add a minor
Step 1: Meet with your advisor
Minors are smaller programs than majors, and won’t have as big an impact on the time
it takes to complete your degree.
However, it's still a good idea to talk to your advisor before adding a minor. They
can help:
Decide if the minor is a good fit for you.
Plan how you will complete the classes in your minor.
Introduce you to the advisor for the minor if the subject falls under a different
school/college from your major.
And more.
You can look up your advisor by your current major on our
Find Your Advisor page
.
Step 2: Fill out the form for changing or adding a minor
Once you have spoken with your advisor, you are ready to submit your request to change
or add your minor.
You can submit that request through an eForm in your
Student Center
by following the steps below.
After submitting, keep an eye on your Chapman inbox. You will receive an email letting
you know whether your request was approved or denied.

Taking a
themed inquiry

Adding a second major.
Completion of the University Honors Program.

schedule and not adding more than you can handle.
