The University’s 70 undergraduate majors are chiefly concentrated on a liberal curriculum, and some of the undergraduate departments are considered pre-professional in nature (the engineering departments maintain and demand students to explore educational disciplines out of engineering as well). A few 20% of the undergraduates of Yale major in the sciences, 45% in the humanities and arts, as well as 35% in the social sciences.
