Major Day

Major Day, co-sponsored in October by the Student Success Center and Residence Life, is an opportunity for students to explore the majors and minors that Bellarmine offers. Students who are undecided, who wish to switch majors, who would like to add an additional major, or who want to declare a minor can learn about the variety of opportunities at BU. All majors and minors are invited to select upperclassmen to represent their program at the event and host a table that showcases the curriculum and opportunities within their programs.
