Impacted Majors
Many San Diego State University majors are designated as impacted,
meaning they have more students wanting to declare that major
than can be accommodated. Students who are admitted to
SDSU and want to declare an impacted major are placed in
the pre-major of that program (if all requirements are met
at the time of admission).
All premajors must meet department-specific criteria to move
from the premajor to the major, such as a specified minimum
grade point average, completion of prerequisite courses, tests,
and completion of a certain number of units. Students should
refer to the General Catalog of the year in which they declared a major for official requirements.
For example, if you declared a major in fall 2007, you would choose
the 2007-2008 link listed under your major for your impacted major
requirements.
The following majors are impacted:
