<p>Okay, so I remember putting down that Journalism was my intended major when I first applied. After I got admitted and looked at my basic information, it says that I'm in the college of letters and sciences, but my intended major is blank? Does UW allow freshmen to be journalism majors, or do they have to apply to the J-school like sophomore year? Thanks</p>
<p>You apply in your soph year.

<p>And when you’re picking courses, look in this department within the College of Ag & Life Sciences. Great department, excellent journalistic adaptations:</p>
