Majors

Majors are programs of study for Undergraduate Students. These may be different from the actual departments, detailed on each College's page.

Integrate with Colleges? Doesn't seem like we should maintain so many lists of the same thing?

• The main problem is that it isn't a list of the same thing. Majors and departments are different. Science and Society isn't a major, but it is a department. Computer Science Engineering isn't a department, but it is a major. The lists almost have to be seperate. Actually, I think the whole department/major structure should be reorganized, but that will take a long time. Any comments?
  

• Holy smokes, this is a huge list to maintain. Easier just to link to the the Undergraduate Admissions web site?

• Wouldn't something like this belong on the UC Davis Wiki not the City of Davis Wiki? The link would be the most efficient means of getting the most accurate information without comprising the Wiki by making it serve the University.
