You will have to select at least one major area of study. But relax-you don't need to do this before you arrive on campus. Some majors do require an early declaration if you are to fit everything into four years, so if you have some ideas about a potential major or majors, tell your adviser before you register for classes. Your adviser can help you pick the right classes to keep your options open. Some students take a second, optional major.
Many students choose to complete one or more minor areas of study in addition to a major.
But minors are not a requirement. In addition to the admission language requirement, students in the College of Arts and Sciences and some professional school programs will have to meet this requirement. Your adviser will give you details. He's taking Psychology 101, Anthropology 102, Writing 101, PE 100, and Psychology 113 in the fall. Su-Jen wants to be a nurse, but she's worried because the curriculum looks difficult, and there doesn't seem to be any room for choices or mistakes.
