The Four Colleges of UMD

The University of Minnesota Duluth has dozens of degrees spread out between four different colleges with specific focuses. You may have entered with your first choice major or your second choice major depending on your program requirements. If you enter UMD as an undeclared major, that is completely normal and the path many of our students take! Academic advisors in your college will guide you to find the right path.
