As you begin or make your way through your academic journey, you may find something else more suited to your interests and goals. If you are interested in a major within the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management, see below for the options available to you.
STHM offers students the opportunity to meet with a member of the STHM admissions team to have questions about the programs and the major-change process answered. Students can meet with the assistant dean, Dr. Heather Blackburn (hblackburn@temple.edu)
The Change of Program Request form can be completed online here – after meeting with Dean Blackburn and completing the form, a change of major will be processed through the registrar’s office. Please allow one week for the change to be processed. Student records will be updated only during a drop/add period or, the start of the next academic semester.
Once the Change of Program Request form is processed, students should meet with their new academic advisor to discuss their prior course history, future course registration, and graduation planning. Students will need to email their advisor to make an appointment. The new advisor will be identified during the change of major meeting with Dr. Blackburn.
