Academic Programs Academic Programs UMM's academic programs offer basic preparation for most of the professions, including management, teaching, and the creative arts, as well as several specialized occupational areas. Specific requirements for UMM majors are listed in the Division Structure and Course Descriptions section in this bulletin. Completion of a given major, however, usually involves fulfillment of more than the minimum requirements. Once a student has selected a major, he or she should seek the counsel of a faculty member in the discipline to plan a well-organized and balanced program.
Many students enter college with no clear choice of a major in mind.
General education requirements, many of which are completed during the first two years, will often acquaint students with disciplines from which they may select a major that best fits their interests and abilities.
