What is a major?

A major is simply a specific subject and main area of study that a student can specialize in. By completing a major, you demonstrate sustained, high-level work in one field and in some majors, you prepare for a specific career.

What is a pre-major?

Some academic departments have requirements for official acceptance into a major that are in addition to the University’s general admission requirements. Until you meet these additional requirements (which vary depending on the major), you should declare the appropriate “pre-major.” This pre-major designation shows that you are intending to pursue that desired area or field but are in process of fulfilling any pre-major requirements. Once you have completed the pre-major requirements, please consult with an advisor in the academic department to officially declare and be accepted into the major.
