There are, but it is different for every school. Find a college you like and check their website for the majors they offer.
I know it can be really overwhelming to choose a major. Realistically, no one should expect you to choose a major at such an early time. I went through 2 different majors before I found one I liked, and I was already in college! |

There should be a booklet that includes classes that are offered at the college and the majors and minors should be mentioned in the booklet.
If not check the websites. |

| If I could give one piece of advice, it's that, unless you are taking a skill-based major (Art, Engineering, etc), most people don't use their major for their "intended" purpose. Many people get jobs outside of what they studied, and that's not bad. It just shows how flexible majors can be. Most employers are just looking to see if you have a Bachelors degree when they are hiring you, so it's not a HUGE deal what major you pick, as long as it's something you enjoy. Don't worry about people pressuring you with "what are you going to do with that"? That's a silly question as there are literally hundreds of options for you no matter your major. |

"I went through 2 different majors before I found one I liked, and I was already in college!" Yeah, this is an important point. I don't know how it is at other schools, but at my college you don't have to decide on a major until the second half of your Sophomore year. You have a lot of time before you even attend college, so just see what you like and go from there. You can always switch majors later when you're in college. I'm not even done with my first semester and I've already switched from Communications to Professional Writing. |

| Is it wrong that I'm already pretty confident about what my major will be? I have several alternative/supplementary ideas (considering a double major, several ideas for a minor, etc.). |

@EpicSnack3 It depends, but generally, yes. Some majors require same or similar courses, and others don't.
@SimpleWayfarer Not at all! It's good to feel so passionately about something, and it is a huge relief to have that confidence. |
