Most diverse course offerings in Maryland?

I need some help! Does anyone have any insight into which college in Maryland offers the most courses or academic programs? I'm pretty undecided about my major and want a college that can offer me a lot of options.

Based on the number of undergraduate majors, minors, and diverse academic programs, one of the best choices in Maryland would be the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). UMD offers over 90 undergraduate programs which span arts and humanities, business, engineering, education, natural sciences, and social sciences among others.

Also worth noting is Johns Hopkins University, which is known for its strong programs across multiple fields, including STEM, public health, and humanities. It also has excellent pre-professional programs and is particularly acclaimed for its research opportunities which is something to consider if you're unsure of what you want to study; research can be a great way to explore your interests.

Another solid choice would be Towson University, which offers over 60 undergraduate majors ranging from Art to Business Administration to Environmental Science and Studies. They're particularly known for their programs in health professions like nursing and speech-language pathology.

Keep in mind that while the number of offerings is one factor to consider, what matters more is whether the school offers strong programs in areas you're potentially thinking about. Thus, also take time to visit, if you can, or virtually explore departmental websites and course catalogs of these universities to see if their offerings appeal to you.

Lastly, take advantage of the resources and people around you. Talk to your high school counselor or other mentors about your general interests, they can often provide insightful advice.
