I’ve read many of the comments on this thread to date. I’m going to suggest something completely against the tide of the other comments. Consider applying to various schools based on the strength of the major in that school. And don’t worry about whether they have one of the other majors to “change into” later. All of these majors are so small at every school in terms of both size of student population as well as number of faculty.
My absolute favorite resource to share is this interactive data set maintained by a college admissions director at Oregon State: The College Finder
We used this heavily when looking for schools for my son (geology major graduating in 2025). The goal was to find a college that had a “larger” program and then we also used other resources to find which programs were more reputable in that field. We also did alot of looking at the web pages for the departments, faculties, and research centers in that major at each school to see if the things they are doing were interesting to him. As one college counselor once said “it doesn’t do you any good to go to a biology program that is small and led by the guy who is only interested in bugs when you want to study human anatomy”.
And now I will give you my plug for Texas A&M if he is interested in geology. An amazingly friendly campus, big sports and the faculty in that department have opened doors for my son even beyond our wildest dreams of what might be available. Best of every world in that he gets to have the very large school rah-rah environment but is home in a department where all the faculty genuinely care about these students and the geology advisor is the absolute best! Also…if you receive $4,000 in competitive scholarships you then are also provided with an OOS tuition waiver. They also have majors in urban planning, geography and construction science.
