A 'major' is a specific program of study defined by a concentration of courses. While there are commonly used names for majors, there are variations because colleges are allowed to decide their own titles for majors. Please note that not all majors listed on Map Your SUNY Future are offered every semester. Specific information can be found on the campus websites or in the Prospective Student section of the SUNY website.
