<p>Does UM have a college of general studies that you can apply for on the application?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, it's the College of Letters and Sciences</p>
<p>From UMD's site, "Deciding on a major does not have to be the first thing on your college agenda. More than a third of the entering class at Maryland decides to explore several interests before declaring a field of study and Letters and Sciences gives them an academic home. We provide advising, workshops, career exploration and many important resources for those crucial first semesters. However, Letters and Sciences does much more than advise incoming undecided students. Our pre-professional advising services for premedical, pre-law and allied health help students choose courses, select appropriate professional programs and assist with the application process to professional schools."</p>
<p>letters of sciences is for undecided or if you don't get into the Limited enrollment programs (business engineering etc). there is the College of Arts and Humanities if you want to major in art, dance, language, theatre, etc. and there is the college of chemical and life sciences for those who want to major in chemistry, biology, premed, etc. and finally if you want physics and math there is college of computer, mathematical, and physical sciences. oh and if you want anthropology and social sciences there is the college of behavioral and social scieces. </p>
<p>maryland splits the traditional College of Arts and Sciences into like 4 different colleges. see which one fits you. and if you're undecided you get put into letters and sciences.</p>
