A capped major is a major that limits enrollment.
If you choose a capped major on your admissions application, we highly recommend that you also select an alternate major.
If you are a prospective applicant and you have further questions, please contact Admissions via email at admissionsreply@ucsd.edu or by telephone at (858) 534-4831.
It may not be possible to change to a capped major as a continuing student.
