Sometimes students are admissible to Montclair academically, but the faculty decline to admit them to their individual program. In this case, the student may be admitted Undeclared. Transfer students who have more than 45 credits cannot be admitted Undeclared, and will receive a communication asking that they choose an alternate major.
Other times, the faculty believe the student’s unique talents are better suited for another arts program at Montclair. In that case, your decision letter will explain that to you.
In both of these scenarios, you are welcome to change your major to something else, or, re-audition or submit a new portfolio during a later semester.
