About List of Majors
List of Majors is a plain-English directory of common U.S. college majors. For each major we explain what it is, the kind of coursework it involves, the career directions graduates pursue, and the degree levels it's commonly offered at — so you can compare your options on clear, neutral information.
We are an independent publisher operated by VentureCorp Publishing. We are not a school, a guidance counselor, or a financial advisor, and nothing here is academic, career, or financial advice. Major names and groupings reference the U.S. Department of Education's Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), and general career information references the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook.
We help students find degree programs, and we may earn a commission from education partners linked on this site, at no extra cost to you. This never changes the information we show you, and we do not make any promises about jobs or earnings — a major is one of many factors in where your education and career go.
