The three-letter Holland code briefly summarizes what a major is like by showing its degrees of resemblance to three occupation groups. The first letter is the highest level of resemblance.
Note: since there are no majors at UW with strong ties to Realistic, this list shows majors that have Realistic as the second letter in their code.
