A direct admission major follows the same concept as direct admission into college. However, instead of being accepted into a college, you are accepted into your intended major. If you’re unfamiliar with the college major process, it’s important to understand that for some majors you will need to be accepted into that major before you can pursue it. Instead, you will need to declare that that is what you want to study and then meet the eligibility criteria to be accepted into that major. Eligibility criteria usually includes taking prerequisite classes and maintaining a certain GPA.
