What majors does UMN offer?

I'm doing some early research on colleges and came across the University of Minnesota. I'm curious to learn more about the range of majors they offer. Are there any unique programs that the school is known for?

The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (UMN) offers a wide array of undergraduate majors, with over 150 structured programs available to students. This includes all standard disciplines like Biology, English, Mathematics, Physics, etc., as well as less common programs and even the option to design your own major.

UMN stands out for its very strong programs in several areas. For instance, the Carlson School of Management is well-regarded, and particularly known for its program in Management Information Systems. In the engineering field, their Chemical Engineering program is highly ranked nationally. Additionally, the College of Biological Sciences offers a unique Nature and Environmental Learning and Leadership (NELL) Freshman Research Program. This hands-on opportunity allows students to gain experience in research methods and deepen their understanding of biology in the first year of their undergraduate studies.

Also, the school's College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences has some unique and strong programs – including majors in Sustainable Systems Management, Nutrition, and Food Science. There's also a strong program in Forestry through the Department of Forest Resources, where students can concentrate in Urban and Community Forestry or Park and Protected Area Management.

Remember to look into the details of these programs to determine if they align with your interests and career goals! You can do this by visiting the UMN's official website or reaching out directly to their admissions office for more detailed information.
