Career Pathways and Choosing a Major
WVU has over 140 undergraduate majors available for students. Students are strongly encouraged to apply into their major of choice since WVU Admissions will review a student’s application for their major first. If a student does not earn admission to their major, WVU Admissions will review the student’s file for an undecided major.

Forms for Admitted Students
Does your student need to change their major after applying? Want to defer their admission? Would you like to sign off on a fee waiver? There’s an online form for that!
Information for Underclassmen
For younger students and their families, our Career Pathway and Parent/Family info pages are great places to discover ideas for majors and start becoming familiar with the college application process.
