Students do not apply — and are not admitted — into a specific major. The academic program(s) you listed on your application indicate your current interest, not a specific major to which you applied. Whether you know what you want to study and are ready to jump right in, or you're completely undecided and excited to try everything, our faculty academic advisors are experts in helping students select courses and identify a path of exploration.
