Applying to COE Majors
Admission to COE Undergraduate Degree Programs
The undergraduate degree programs offered through the College are grouped into four categories: Teacher Education, Health and Human Services, UGA/COE Partner Programs, and Dual Degree Programs. Within each category there are majors which are considered to be high demand status. High demand majors (see programs for majors noted as HD) require students to submit an application and/or meet other requirements for admittance into the major.
All UGA undergraduate students seeking a degree in a high demand (HD) major or a major in Recreation and Leisure Studies from the College of Education have “intended major” as their status until they are admitted into a major. Admission into UGA does not guarantee admittance into your major. See UGA Bulletin for the degree requirements for admissions into each major.
