Majors and Programs

Majors

Explore our majors in the way that suits your needs. If you're looking for a specific major, find it fast on our alphabetical listing. If you want to see which majors are offered by particular departments, see our colleges and divisions page for more information.

Not sure which majors match your passions and goals? Curious about what we have to offer? Check out our arrangement of majors by interest group. You'll find majors relating to business, health sciences, computers and technology, art and design and more.

Contact a major adviser to learn how a particular program can suit your academic plans. You'll find contact information for our advisers at the bottom of each individual major page.

Minors

A minor program is a great way to broaden your learning and increase your appeal as a candidate for employment or graduate school admission. Combine related or diverse fields of study by earning one or more minors.

Combining Majors

Can't choose between your passion for physics and your love of literature? Earning a double major is an option for students who have an above-average commitment to academics and who want more preparation in a second field of study than a minor can provide.

Individual Majors

Even with the great number of majors we offer, we realize that you may have interests so specific that they can't be served by any one program. That's why we offer you the chance to create an individual major. You'll get faculty guidance and support as you design the program that's perfect for you.

Undeclared and Exploratory

Not sure what you want to study? Afraid of committing to a major and then realizing it's not the program for you? Freshmen and second-year transfer students can apply with an undeclared or exploratory major. Explore our offerings to find the major that's just right for you.
