Majors

St. Mary's offers a wide and diverse variety of majors and minors. Take your time in choosing a major or design your own. Explore. And for many students at the Honors College, one field isn't enough. The choices are all around you.

Majors provide a depth of knowledge through intensive study in a major field. By assuming a major, the student goes beyond the introductory level in the chosen field and develops a coherent view of the subject and attains competence in the use of skills appropriate to the discipline.
