Interested in changing your major or adding a second major in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources?
For current UMD students, the major change/second major process is facilitated through TerpEngage, your one-stop shop for all things advising.
To get to know the College of AGNR better, all students adding an AGNR major from outside the college will need to complete our free, self-paced ELMS Change of Major course (even if you are adding a second major). If you are still exploring your options, this course is a great way to see the majors, people, organizations, opportunities, and careers we have to offer before you start the official process. You may complete this course at any time. Current AGNR students changing majors within the college are not required to complete this course. Need help? Check out this Step-by-step guide to requesting a major change in TerpEngage

Resources to help you with the major change process
Course planning for AGNR majors
Creating a graduation plan (aka 4-year plan) allows you to see how your completed coursework will fit into the new degree and help you to determine if this new major is the right one for you before you dive into the rest of the major change process.
If you need help with your graduation plan or would like some additional insight on the new major, please feel free to meet with any one of our AGNR Peer Mentors.
Connect with an advisor in your intended major
All AGNR majors will have a department-specific advising component to the change of major process. Use this time to ask questions, explore options, and make a solid graduation plan for your new major.
Opportunities outside the classroom
Our majors have so many opportunities for students to expand their learning, try something new, meet peers, and enjoy everything the university has to offer.
