Meta-Majors at Snow College

This degree is a meta-major, which means it is an ideal major for students exploring majors in life sciences areas. More information on meta-majors at Snow College is available.

As students gain a clearer sense of what they would like to major in, they should declare a regular major, which will have requirements and a program of study that will more fully prepare them for transfer to a four-year program.
