What majors does IU Bloomington offer?

I'm exploring potential majors and considering Indiana University Bloomington. Could anyone provide an overview of the major options there, particularly in the arts and sciences? How diverse are the academic programs?

a year ago

Indiana University Bloomington has an extensive range of academic programs covering just about every field of study one could think of. Notably, it has an excellent College of Arts and Sciences that hosts a wide variety of majors.

The College of Arts and Sciences alone offers over 80 majors to choose from. There are many arts and humanities majors, from classic disciplines like English, History, and Philosophy, to specialized programs such as Apparel Merchandising, Interior Design, and Film and Media Studies. There are also myriad social science majors, including Anthropology, Sociology, and International Studies.

In the natural sciences, they have Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, among other disciplines. If you're into Earth Sciences, there's a Geology department offering majors like Environmental Geology and Geological Sciences.

For students interested in the intersection of humanities and sciences, IU also shines — the College of Arts and Sciences offers interdisciplinary programs like Cognitive Science, Environmental and Sustainability Studies, and Linguistics.

So, overall, I'd say that the academic programs at IU Bloomington are quite diverse, particularly within the arts and sciences. You'll have a lot of flexibility to explore different fields and potentially even double major or take on multiple minors. Remember, though, that the best way to understand what a university offers is to utilize its official resources. Check the university's website by searching "Indiana University Bloomington Majors" to view all the offerings in detail and to verify the information for any particular program.
