For students applying to colleges that review applications based on fit for academic major, like The University of Texas at Austin, the question of which major to choose can be a daunting one. UT Austin offers 170 fields of study across 13 undergraduate colleges and schools, with majors available in 120 of those fields.
While many students produced compelling applications for those majors, I felt that many others could have benefitted from a bit more exploration to identify a major that was a better fit for their demonstrated interests and aptitudes. It was always a treat to come across applications to our top seven favorite “hidden gem” majors:
All of these majors have something in common: they’re interdisciplinary! Interdisciplinary degrees allow students to frame their interests through multiple academic perspectives, producing versatile graduates ready for a range of career fields, graduate programs and professional schools. We encourage you to uncover more “hidden gem” majors by exploring with Wayfinder, a tool offered by UT Austin’s School of Undergraduate Studies.
