Majors and Minors
Academic Opportunities
Elon University offers an incredible array of academic opportunities. We continue to innovate and add new programs. Recently, our Engineering Department received ABET accreditation. We’ve added new minors in Food Studies and Sustainable Enterprises.
We encourage current and prospective students, staff, advisors, and family members to explore these opportunities through various campus resources. In the Office of Academic Advising, we are able to discuss the options you find, help you interpret these options, and help you create a graduation plan to accomplish these and other academic goals while at Elon.
Researching Your Options
A great starting point is Majors, Minors, & Programs. This website provides a handy list of all the academic opportunities Elon offers. Visitors to this site can search by Undergraduate Major or Undergraduate Minor. Following the information for each leads the visitor to the Elon University Academic Catalog.
The Office of the Registrar creates an annual online Academic Catalog, or Smart Catalog. Entering students must follow the latest up-to-date Academic Catalog for their academic requirements. This is true both for first-year and transfer students. Returning students may opt to use the Academic Catalog from when they entered Elon or a newer Academic Catalog.
