Undergraduate Majors, Minors, and Programs

Simmons offers more than 50 majors and programs. Some of our most popular majors include biology, communications, economics, English, management, nursing, psychology, political science, and sociology. In addition to Simmons's established majors, the OPEN program (Option for Personalize Educational Needs) allows students to custom design their own majors. Students also may choose from a number of integrated undergraduate/graduate programs and accelerated degrees. Simmons's special programs provide opportunities for further study and specialization, including an honors program, study abroad, and more.

Majors

Simmons students typically declare a major by the end of their sophomore year; nearly a third choose to major in two subjects. Each major requires a minimum of seven courses, as determined by the associated department. Minors (five courses) are optional. Faculty advisors will help you create a plan that fulfills requirements and satisfies your own goals and interests.
