I'm trying to figure out if UIUC has a diverse range of majors to choose from. Can anyone share some insight into the list of majors at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign? I'm interested in STEM, but I want to explore other fields too.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) offers a vast selection of programs. One of the notable parts about UIUC is the large variety in STEM programs, with different departments for specific areas of study.
