I'm exploring my options and came across SUNY Oneonta. I'm not entirely sure what I want to major in yet. Does anyone know which programs or majors are particularly strong or popular at Oneonta? Any standout departments?
At SUNY Oneonta, the three most popular majors are Psychology, Business Administration, and Mass Communication/Media Studies. These fields have the highest number of graduates each year, indicating a strong and established program.
The Psychology program offers several opportunities for direct research experience, which is a little unusual for an undergraduate institution, and a major factor in its popularity. For those interested in Business, the School of Economics and Business has been gaining a strong reputation, largely due to its experiential learning emphasis — for example, students can participate in a student-managed investment fund.
The Mass Communication/Media Studies program is also noteworthy, providing students with hands-on media production experiences, including opportunities in the college's radio and television station.
Also, many students appreciate the school's offerings in the education field. The Childhood Education program prepares students to teach grades 1-6 and is quite popular.
Please note, though, that you should choose your major according to your passions and career goals rather than just what's popular. While these programs might be renowned at SUNY Oneonta, your personal interest and dedication to a field matter more than the notoriety of the program.
