Majors
Central College offers more than 70 strong academic programs, which include majors, minors and pre-professional advising.
If you don’t see your preferred major on the list, talk to us. You may work with your advisor to create your own major. Or, like many incoming students, you may want to start off in the exploring program, which provides opportunities to try out different areas before making your choice.
For students interested in dual-degree programs, Central College has articulation agreements with Mercy College of Health Sciences (nursing), Allen College (nursing) and Palmer College of Chiropractic (chiropractic). For more information please contact the registrar’s office.
