It sounds like you still don’t know what you’re truly interested in yet, but the good news is pretty much everyone is in the same boat their first year. I had a pretty similar spread of interests during my freshman year between trading, real estate, coding, and graphic design. I ended up majoring in finance/econ, later switching to finance/management, doing a few internships in consulting and real estate finance, before finally ending up in data science. If I could go back I probably would have majored in management/marketing and minored in comp sci.

If you’re truly interested in web/app development, then I would say pursue it as a major or minor, but it is also something you can learn on your own time which allows you to major in business fields of interest to you. Since you haven’t had experience in coding yet I’d take the intro comp sci course to see if it is something you would want to pursue further.
