intellectual interests?

i am applying to the college of arts and sciences, and i’m stuck on the essay prompt. what do they mean by “intellectual interests”? like chemistry, biology, etc.? specific majors to cornell? please help! thank you!

(fyi this is the full prompt: Describe two or three of your current intellectual interests and why they are exciting to you. Why will Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences be the right environment in which to pursue your interests?)

What kinds of things do you think deeply about and want to learn more about in the future? Not majors or disciplines.
