Undergraduate Majors and Minors Chart
The following chart identifies available majors and minors at CMU, lists the degree program(s) to which the majors may be applied, and indicates if teaching certification may be earned. 

The chart is divided by teaching and non teaching majors and minors. If you want to teach, teaching certification is usually pursued on the B.S. in Ed. degree. There are, however, several degrees (B.A., B.S., or B.A.A.) that allow you to earn teaching certification for those majors and minors that indicate certification is available. Consult your departmental advisor. 

Sometimes our majors or minors are not listed under the titles for which you are searching. For example, there is a Physical Education major for students who want teaching certification and a Sport Studies major for those who want physical education studies without teaching certification. There is a Speech major for students who want communications studies with teaching certification, and an Interpersonal and Public Communication major for those who want communications studies without teaching certification. Students of speech-language pathology need to look under communication disorders. Students pursuing studies in hotel and restaurant management want the Hospitality Services Administration major. The music department offers a variety of specialties, but each is studied under the Music major. If you can’t find a particular major or minor on this chart by name, consult the appropriate departmental description in this catalog or check the Bulletin’s index under the subject name. 

To find the degree and graduation requirements for any specific major or minor listed below, consult the index for reference to the departmental listing. Direct your questions concerning any major or minor to the appropriate department. 

A listing of departmental and interdepartmental advisors may be found by consulting a current “Class Schedule” published every semester.
