What does 'admit to institution' mean for Texas State?

Hi, I recently got an email from Texas State saying that I've been 'admitted to the institution'. What exactly does this mean? Will I still need to apply to a specific department or major within the university?

Hello! Congratulations on your admission to Texas State! When a university says you've been "admitted to the institution," it means that you have been accepted into the university as a whole. This is great news as it confirms your acceptance to the school.

However, this doesn't explicitly state you've been admitted into a particular major or department. At some universities, you must also apply to specific programs or departments within the school after being admitted to the institution. It's crucial to check Texas State's policies and procedures for the major or department you're interested in. Some majors may have a separate application process or additional requirements, while others might allow you to declare your major during the enrollment process with no additional steps.

I recommend reviewing the Texas State's website or reaching out to their admissions office to gather more information on the process for your intended major. This will give you a clear understanding of the next steps you need to take to ensure your enrollment in the major of your choice. Best of luck, and once again, congratulations on your admission!
