Choosing a Major

The average undergrad switches majors 3 times.

Most have to cram in extra classes to graduate on time. And many transfer into a program they wish they'd known about earlier.

We can help you explore the right options from the start. You'll have the tools to find a track quickly, and have electives left over to do independent studies, art studios, philosophy classes and more. Learn more about the NRE majors.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to pass along the good news that Matthew Kozlowski, one of our top Turfgrass Management majors, was recently awarded a $6,000 scholarship and honored as the Mendenhall Award Winner from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. This is the first place award in the country!

He will be presented with the award at the GCSAA show in February 2008.

If you see Matt, please congratulate him on this well-deserved award.
