Majors and Minors
Dream big.

Fordham offers more than 70 undergraduate majors, minors, and pre-professional programs. Each gives you the tools you need to think clearly, to debate forcefully, and to find possible solutions for every problem.
That’s also the job of our core curriculum, which primes you for critical thought even as you're considering your major.
We're a wide-ranging university in a big city—the possibilities are enormous. Select a category below to learn more.
Lincoln Center or Rose Hill?
Most undergraduate majors are offered at both Fordham campuses, but there are a few that are exclusive to one location. For instance, dance and theatre are at Lincoln Center while biological sciences and chemistry are at Rose Hill. Make sure to note when you see (LC only) which means only at Lincoln Center and (RH only) which means only at Rose Hill.
If you're torn between the two, learn more about the differences.

Many of our students double major, double minor, and then take on a concentration for good measure. But if your particular areas of interest can't be fully satisfied by one of these combinations, then it's possible to pursue an individualized degree at Fordham, pending the approval of your dean. Learn more about the individualized major.
