If you are considering a major or concentration in anthropology (or if you are a recently declared anthropology major or concentrator) and would like to learn more and join others for food and informal contemplation of the wondrous possibilities for undergraduate anthropology at Columbia—studies abroad, online journals and communiqués, occasional gatherings, ethnographic forays, thesis projects, post-grad futures, and more—then, by all means, in the midst of this major declaration come to the Open House in Anthropology. Bring your questions and curiosity...
Musing on your Major Declaration?
In search of the social? In search of difference?
Desire to write, ethnographically and otherwise?
Bring a friend!
Yes, there will be food! Lunch and snacks.

CC Major Declaration 2009
Dear CC Sophomores,
It’s almost time to declare your major!
In less than two weeks you will be able to declare your intended major and/or concentration using the online major declaration system. Instructions and a web link will be emailed to you on Monday, February 23; you will have until Thursday, March 5 to declare.
CSA is hosting a Major Mentor Event on Monday, February 16 from 3:00-5:30 pm in 555 Lerner. This is an opportunity to ask juniors and seniors questions about particular majors, course selection, and undergraduate opportunities. No RSVP is necessary and refreshments will be served.
Please note that the following departments require written approval. If you choose a major or concentration in one of these areas, you will be asked to download a Major/Concentration Declaration form, which must be signed by a faculty adviser in the department and returned to 403 Lerner before the end of the declaration period.
- Architecture (310 Barnard Hall)
- Comparative Literature & Society (Heyman Ctr.)
- Creative Writing (612 Lewisohn)
- Earth & Environmental Sciences (556-7 Schermerhorn)
- East Asian Languages & Cultures (407 Kent)
- Film Studies (513 Dodge)
- Italian (502 Hamilton)
- Physics (702 Pupin)
- Spanish & Portuguese (307 Casa Hispanica)
- Special Concentration in Sustainable Development (Earth Institute Office, 1408 IAB)
- Urban Studies (208 Hamilton)
I recommend that you visit the department this week to discuss the approval process. If you declare a major or concentration in one of these departments but have not received written approval by March 5, the program will be removed from your official record.
Over the next few weeks, keep an eye out for announcements about Departmental Open Houses. These are opportunities to interact with students and faculty in your new or intended department. Read the CSA Blog for a list of programs and events. If you have any questions or concerns, please send me an email or make an appointment to come in.
Sincerely,
The Center for Student Advising
