Admitted Major for Case Western Reserve University

Hi,

I got admitted to CWRU today!!

But regarding the admissions, I am a little confused regarding which major I am admitted to. My first choice is Chemical Engineering, and my second choice is Chemistry. However, the status doesn’t state which major I am admitted to. Is there any way I can find out my admitted major?

If I don’t get admitted to a major, how am I able to major what I am interested in once I join the university?

Thanks!

You actually get admitted to the university itself and not in any specific major. This means that 1) you are not restricted in taking any courses your first year and 2) must declare a major by a certain time (end of sophomore year I believe). So if you have a major(s) you’d like to study, you can definitely start taking the courses right off the bat in the curriculum and get on track for that degree, but you’ll have to declare that major yourself, which is really just getting a sheet signed by the department head and submitting the form.
