Request a Change of Program
During the course of your enrollment at Brandman University, you may find it necessary to alter your academic program - change majors, add an emphasis, etc.
Prior to making changes to your program, we recommend you check your campus’ program offerings, review the academic catalog and consult an academic advisor for guidance. You may also check degree requirements by running a “What If” program evaluation on WebAdvisor.
Students receiving veteran benefits should also inform their campus’ VA Certifying Office of any changes to ensure eligibility of VA funds.
