COBA = College of Business Administration
COST = College of Science & Technology
Undeclared = Students without a Major of Record

Observation: Over the past thirteen years, enrollment at SSU has been divided roughly in quarters, with a quarter of the students declaring majors in each College and a quarter of the students not declaring a major.  But, as a practical matter, there is no necessary relationship between declared major and course registration.  Therefore, a student could have a declared major and yet be registered primarily for courses outside the major.
