List of majors?

Hey everyone! So, I'm a high school junior and I'm starting to think ahead about college majors. I know there are a lot of options, but could someone provide a list of possible majors that I could explore? Thanks so much!

Hi! It's great that you're starting to brainstorm possible majors. I'll provide a list of some common college majors, but keep in mind that this is far from an exhaustive list, and the availability of these majors will depend on the specific colleges you're interested in. You might also find that some colleges have unique interdisciplinary options or allow students to design their own majors.

1. Biology

2. Chemistry

3. Physics

4. Mathematics

5. Computer Science

6. Engineering (various disciplines, e.g., Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc.)

7. Psychology

8. Nursing

9. Communications

10. Literature/English

11. History

12. Political Science

13. Philosophy

14. Sociology

15. Anthropology

16. Environmental Science

17. Geology

18. Business/Finance

19. Accounting

20. Economics

21. Marketing

22. Management

23. Art (e.g., Fine Arts, Graphic Design, etc.)

24. Music (e.g., Performance, Musicology, etc.)

25. Theater

32. Criminal Justice

33. Linguistics

34. Foreign Languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.)

35. Religious Studies/Theology

Again, this list is not exhaustive, and there are many niche majors or interdisciplinary studies available at various schools. As you continue your college search, be sure to check each college's website for a complete list of majors, minors, and academic programs. Exploring the course catalogs of different schools can be particularly helpful in providing insight into the classes and experiences you might have in a given major. Good luck with your search!
