Undergraduate fields of study
A learn-and-do philosophy drives our academic programs. We offer excellent teaching in the classroom and numerous opportunities to learn outside of class: internships, a co-op program, working with professors on their research, and projects where you'll apply what you've learned to real-world problems.
Choose one of our programs, or create your own with multidisciplinary studies. Are you also interested in a minor?

Multidisciplinary studies
The multidisciplinary studies major is for the student whose interests demand an individualized program, such as environmental studies or communications/photography. Students work with faculty members to develop a cohesive, meaningful program. Students may apply to the program after at least one semester of university study. More information (PDF file)
Minors
Students can choose to minor in one of more than 40 academic fields—taking courses in an area that complements their major, and which they find interesting and challenging. With a minor, students complete at least 18 credits, half of them in upper level courses. Students find the minor, which is noted on their transcript at graduation, gives their education added dimension and depth.
