Attention majors - spend some time thinking about and then talking to your preferred economics advisor. Make sure to obtain your new advisor's signature, before requesting the chair's signature on your major declaration form.                                                                                                                              
When searching for an advisor, it may help to look at faculty research and teaching interests here: https://www.oxy.edu/academics/areas-study/economics/student-resources. Please feel free to email a faculty member (even if you have not met them before!) to introduce yourself and inquire if they have any open spots to accept new advisees.

The next step to becoming an economics major or minor is to fill out your major/minor declaration form. Make sure to sign the form and get your advisor signature (on major declaration form) before you send it to econ@oxy.edu, so the current chair can sign it. The signed form will be sent back to you via email so you can forward it to the Registrar's Office.
