One standout program at Colgate is the Thought Into Action Entrepreneurship Initiative, which pairs students with alumni mentors to develop business ideas. While not a major, it can profoundly enrich your experience no matter what major you choose.
Finally, while specifics about each major are more than can be listed here, you should take the time to explore Colgate University's website for more information about the various areas of study.

That can give you an even more comprehensive look at what it would be like to study a certain subject at Colgate University.
