Majors and Minors

Find your program of study

For undergraduate students, choosing a major or minor helps guide the curriculum for earning your degree

A major is a specified concentration of courses in a department, in addition to designated electives in related departments, which develop expertise in the concepts and skills of a discipline.

Minors supplement the major, often emphasizing a special interest, an interdisciplinary approach or vocational skill.

Our pre-professional tracks are designed to equip you with the skills necessary to move into post-graduate degree programs. Some of our programs also offer concentrations, which is a focus on a specific area within the program.
