Undergraduate Admission

Selecting Academic Interests

We understand that you may not be ready to commit to a particular area of study, but we are curious about your academic interests.

Selecting Academic Interests

We understand that you may not be ready to commit to a particular area of study, but we are curious about your academic interests.

In the Brown Questions section of the Common Application, we ask you to tell us your top choices of concentration (Brown language for major)—as far as you know at the time you apply. There are no quotas among concentrations and we do not admit students by academic interest. This information is used only to help us understand your current academic preferences.

Undergraduate Concentrations

Brown offers a wide selection of concentrations, what some colleges call majors. You'll sample courses across many disciplines before immersing yourself in one of these focused areas.
