Academic Area of Study

General Area of Study

First, select the general area of study that interests you. There are 22 areas to choose from. If you are undecided about your area of study, select “Undecided,” the last item on the pull-down.

Select Majors

After you’ve selected a general area of study a list of majors will appear in the box. You must select an area of general study in order to have a list of majors to choose from.

Highlight the majors you wish to add to your list and click “Add.” You can select no more than five majors total.

Finalize Your List

To remove a major from your list, highlight the major and click “Remove.” You can choose to return to the complete list of majors and add a different major.

Select First Choice

You can only select one major as your first choice. Even if you want to have a double major or both a major and a minor, you can still select only one major as your first choice. Select the major you feel most strongly about.
