The four different Excel files attached below list the majors in specific disciplines offered by many colleges in the Northeast. These lists are NOT meant to be comprehensive-- other colleges will have some of the same majors and these colleges will offer other majors besides those included-- but do serve as a tool to help students identify schools that have a number of different options. All information comes from the CollegeBoard Book of Majors and is subject to change.
Couple these lists with the admissions statistics for the respective schools (available on CollegeBoard.com and some on an additional spreadsheet), and then review the information about these specific majors on the respective school web sites, and soon a student can develop a working list of colleges for which applications may be completed.
The college admissions process requires a great deal of research, and these documents are meant to provide a beginning. The rest is up to you.

Absolutely fantastic job. Looks like something anyone should be able to use to get a head start. Perhaps a admissions data worksheet could also be made with only statistics from Brooklyn Tech students sorted by school. It'd be a lot of work, maybe next year. Again, great job.

Thanks for the compliments, but do look under the pinned material in the College forum for just such a BTHS-specific spreadsheet as you described! More user friendly data will be possible once Naviance is active.

It's not difficult for students to make their own, college-specific data sheets using BTHS data. It would only take like, what, a couple of hours for all the colleges we're interested in.
