Majors ,,,
Well, you've made it to college! How does it feel? Perhaps you're feeling a bit overwhelmed? Not to worry. We've provided you with a list of all the degrees and some details on their available majors. Hopefully, this will make everything clear.
Each student will be asked to choose one degree, then a major from that degree.
You may also choose a minor, this can be from any other degree, for example you may choose a Humanities degree, majoring in education with a minor of Drama.
