Major

The Sims 2: University requires young adults to declare a major at college before their Junior year (3rd year). Majors can be declared by using the phone or computer (under the college menu). Sims need to declare a major before the start of their Junior year, or they will automatically be enrolled in the Philosophy major. They can't change their major after the end of their Junior year. Each major requires different skills that compliment specific career tracks. Each major has four specific career tracks with whom they share skill points.

All freshmen and all NPC students start with their majors listed as 'Undeclared', meaning that they have not yet declared their major.
