Studies
You can mix a variety of interests and, instead of declaring a major, develop your own area of emphasis in more than 60 fields of study based on your unique goals. Or choose a Path of Study and plan ahead with confidence.
Over your time here, you’ll develop your own area of emphasis based on the programs and courses you choose—not what we tell you to take. Or choose one of our Paths of Study, a sequence of programs in a particular broad subject area that have been planned out four years into the future.
Browse through our paths and fields of study below to find the way that's right for you.
