We offer over 60 majors, double majors, special interdisciplinary majors, minors, and a dual-major program that combines two disciplines while still allowing time to pursue electives. Our wide array of programs, combined with our flexibility, gives you the opportunity to customize an educational plan to meet your unique goals.
Undecided about what you want to study? Consider the Program for Undeclared Students. Specially designed for first-year students, this program provides extra advising, seminars, and faculty workshops all with the goal of helping you choose a major by the end of your first year.

In most College of Arts and Sciences programs, you may be able to earn your degree in four years instead of five. You’ll need to consult with your advisor — whom you’ll meet right after you arrive at the University — to determine which option will best suit your academic goals.
