Question about James Madison/History Major

I was just recently accepted to MSU and there was no specific mention of what program I was accepted into. On that note, it is not necessarily a bad thing if I do not make it into James Madison College, the major I listed on my application. I am recently having second thoughts and I believe that I may just want to major in history. So basically, what I’m asking is, are the majors we put down on the initial application the majors we are attached to when we get to MSU?

Also, does anyone know anything about the History program- specifically around the WW2 era/Western European History/American History after the 1930’s? I know MSU has a fairly lenient set up for the requirements as a history major and I feel like that would benefit me, but I know very little about the department.

Anything is appreciated.
