Undergraduate fields of study
Many incoming students have a clear idea of what they want to study. Others, however, need more time and experience before they find their passion. Students without a specific major can choose one of four "undeclared" areas of study: arts & sciences, business, engineering, and studio art.
You can also create your own major with multidisciplinary studies.

Students work with faculty members to develop a cohesive, meaningful program. Students may apply to the program after at least one semester of university study.

Minors
Students can choose to minor in one of more than 40 academic fieldstaking courses in an area that complements their major, and which they find interesting and challenging. With a minor, students complete at least 18 credits, half of them in upper level courses. Students find the minor, which is noted on their transcript at graduation, gives their education added dimension and depth.
