I’m Admitted

LAS offers students the knowledge, skills, and scholarly foundation necessary for long-term personal and professional success. Students choose from over 40 majors and minors across the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and interdisciplinary programs. We also offer 11 pre-professional program options, including pre-medicine, pre-nursing, pre-pharmacy, pre-dentistry, and pre-law.

Now that you are admitted to UIC Liberal Arts and Sciences, learn how to:

Explore Liberal Arts and Scienecs majors and better understand how your academic interests can connect to future opportunities. Each major page includes a description of the major, skills and competencies developed through coursework, Career Snaps featuring career titles and pathways, alumni highlights, industry clusters, related career resources, and student perspectives.

You will also find links to department websites so you can explore courses, faculty, events, research opportunities, and other resources connected to each major. Our goal is to help you see the value and versatility of LAS majors, expand your perspective on career possibilities, and encourage you to connect your strengths and interests to meaningful paths ahead.
