Choosing your major

Deciding what you want to major in at college can be overwhelming. From Accounting and Information Systems to Wood Science and Forest Products, Virginia Tech has more than 70 programs of study to offer you.

At Virginia Tech, we have seven colleges that offer undergraduate majors. Below please find a brief description of the colleges and links to see what majors they offer. If you're at a loss as to what you want to major in, maybe you will find something that will spark your interest.

College of Agriculture and Life Sciences: A place where you can study biotechnology, the environment, food production and product development, business, animal or human health, or community development, just to mention a few of the options.

College of Architecture and Urban Studies: Annually, DesignIntelligence, the only national college-ranking survey focused exclusively on design-related programs, ranks the School of Architecture + Design undergraduate architecture program among the top 5 in the nation.

Pamplin College of Business: It is ranked in the top 50 undergraduate business schools by U.S. News and World Report and in the top 10 percent of accredited business programs. Five of the top seven most recruited majors on campus are in the Pamplin College of Business.

College of Engineering: It is the state's largest engineering college, and fifth largest nationally for undergraduate degrees awarded. America’s Best Colleges 2010 survey released by U.S. News & World Report ranked the Virginia Tech College of Engineering's undergraduate program 14th in the nation among all accredited engineering schools that offer doctorates. The National Science Foundation lists the college as 10th in total research expenditures.

College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences: Often referred to as the "people college," our alumni are making their marks in the worlds of business, industry, entertainment, education, government, and research.

College of Natural Resources and Environment: Our programs are ranked among the best in the country and address both the technical and human elements of natural resources and instill in students a sense of stewardship and land-use ethics.

College of Science: The progress being made in the sciences today was only a dream a short while ago, and the departments within the College of Science are on the cutting edge of research and scholarship.
