Intended major
Seattle University offers the distinct advantage that applicants are accepted directly to their majors of choice at the time of admission. Freshmen or transfers with less than junior standing, however, may choose to be admitted to our pre-major program, which provides the opportunity to explore academic programs before committing to an academic major.
It is important that all applicants indicate only one intended major on the Seattle University Supplemental Application by checking the corresponding box (e.g. biology, or pre-major.)
