If you originally selected a Limited Enrollment Program LEP as your preferred major on your application, you may have been placed in Letters and Sciences LTSC due to the competitive admission criteria for these programs.
LEPs are very popular and require a limit on the number of students they can accommodate. The determination of whether a student will be admitted into an LEP is made as a component of our holistic application review process. As the number of students who have expressed interest in our LEPs has increased, admission into these programs has become more competitive. LTSC is an advising college that incoming students are generally placed in for one of two reasons; they want to explore several fields of study before selecting a major or they are pursuing entry into one of our LEPs.
Academic advisors in LTSC will help you explore course possibilities and instruct you on choosing required gateway courses to gain entry to an LEP once all the requirements are met. Because the academic advisors in LTSC are the most adept at helping students gain entry into their preferred major, students are admitted here rather than the second choice major they indicated on their application for admission.
As you progress through your educational career at UMD, you will have the opportunity to enter your preferred major as a current student. Each LEP has a series of courses, called gateway requirements, which must be completed before applying to the major.
If you are able to successfully complete the gateway requirements, you will be reviewed for admission into the LEP you are interested in. For more information on the specific requirements needed to enter your preferred major, please visit the Limited Enrollment Program website. If at this time, you are interested in switching to an alternate major, which is not an LEP, you may email us to request a major change. In your email, please include your full name, date of birth, current major and the desired major.
