Change of Major (CODO) Requirements
Are you thinking of changing your major? At Purdue, that’s called a CODO (Change of Degree Objective), and you start the process by reaching out to your current academic advisor for guidance. It is important to schedule an appointment with one of the College of Education academic advisors to discuss courses and the degree requirements for your desired change in major. Appointments may be made by contacting the Office of Advising and Retention.
