Majors and Programs


Bryan offers about 42 options in 22 major areas. Each student must complete an Application for Major and receive approval from an academic division to be officially enrolled in a major program. This application for major is normally completed during the second semester of the sophomore year, but it may be completed earlier once a student has decided on a major.
 
In addition to course requirements listed on the four-year plans and the catalog, each department requires a senior assessment in the major; and the college requires a variety of core curriculum assessments prior to graduation.
