Major and Major-Related Requirements

At Utica College, students can select from a variety of majors in the fields of humanities, science and mathematics, behavioral studies, management, and health sciences. The purposes of UC’s major programs are to enable students to concentrate a substantial portion of their college studies in the academic areas most closely related to their specific interests, and to permit them to pursue advanced study and research in the academic disciplines they find most interesting and challenging.

The major programs provide the academic and professional education students will use to pursue a career in their special fields of interest. All available programs are described in the section of this catalog titled Programs of Study .

A student should select a major before the end of his or her sophomore year. Students may select a minor (in consultation with their major advisor) any time before the semester in which they will have graduated. Forms for this purpose are available in each of the school offices and the Academic Support Services Center.
