Colleges with the greatest variety of majors?

Hey everyone, I'm a junior trying to figure out my college list. I'm not really set on a specific major yet, so I’m looking into colleges that offer a wide range of majors. Any idea which colleges are known for this?

Sure, there are many universities known for their broad range of majors giving students the freedom to explore various disciplines before deciding on their field of study. Here are some:

1. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA): UCLA offers over 130 undergraduate majors from varying fields such as the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, arts, and engineering.

2. The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin): With more than 170 fields of study across 13 schools, UT Austin allows students to choose from vast options.

3. University of Michigan (UMich): This institution offers a range of over 275 programs of study from departments as varied as Aerospace Engineering and Afroamerican and African Studies.

4. Penn State University: With over 275 majors, Penn State boasts a comprehensive array of academic pursuits in areas such as applied sciences, business, engineering, liberal arts, and more.

As you research these universities, it's also worth considering what kinds of exploratory or undecided programs they offer, which can provide additional support and resources as you work to figure out your academic direction. But remember, wherever you choose to attend, you won't need to choose a major right away and will typically have time during your first year or even two to explore different areas before deciding.
