Should I declare a double major or a minor before I apply?

YES! If you are planning to work on a double major or minor, including a language, while studying abroad, you should declare as soon as possible so that it will appear on your transcripts for your application. You will also need to speak to an advisor in that department before departure. However, very few programs require evidence of your academic major as a part of the application process. So, if you are not able to declare right away, that is probably fine. Please be sure to talk with the study away advisor about your academic goals.
