So You Wanna Be a Longhorn? A Deep Dive (Maybe Not That Deep) into UT Austin's Majors
Howdy, future burnt-orange-bleeding academic warriors! Thinking about conquering the hallowed halls of UT Austin? Excellent choice. But before you can snag that UT cap and gown (and battle the endless lines at the Jester King), you gotta pick your weapon of choice: a major.
UT Austin boasts more majors than a Texas drawl has variations (and that's a lot, folks). We're talking everything from classics like English (because everyone needs a good dose of Shakespeare, amirite?) to Astrophysics (because gazing at stars is basically magic, fight me).
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Here's a sneak peek into the UT Austin major menagerie:
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
