When I came here for a recruitment tour, I met the person who was going to be my academic adviser. That makes a strong statement. Many people involved in the University's athletic programs said the Athletic Department encourages students to follow their own academic dreams. No major is too tough for an athlete at the University. There are some majors that are very difficult for student athletes.
Organic chemistry is one.
The lab is only available in the afternoon, during practice time. Daily Michigan nose tackle Rob Renes makes his way to classes yesterday. The junior is concentrating in general studies. I do believe some universities tend to funnel all their students into one or two majors, with which they have special arrangements. Here we don't have that.
