Choose an Area of Study
Areas of Study are groups of programs that have related courses or similar employment outcomes. If you’re a new student, you can select an Area of Study rather than being required to choose a specific major, which will give you the option of guided exploration early in your college career. If you’re a current student, our Areas of Study can provide specialized support services and community-building events to help you feel more connected.
