undergraduate class size

UVM offers an array of majors and minors taught by nationally recognized faculty. With so many choices it’s ok to be uncertain about your choice because all but one of UVM’s 7 undergraduate colleges and schools allow an undeclared major. Students are required to choose an undergraduate school as an academic base, but, in most cases, a student will not have to select a major until the end of the first or second year at UVM.
