Answer:

When a major is 'closed' at the university, the applications are incomplete at admission closure.

A 'competitive' major, on the other hand, specifies certain admission requirements unique to the program.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major is an integrated course of academic studies. It is an academic study focused mainly by students. There are two types of major- closed and competitive.

The closed major can be defined as an applications incomplete at admission's closure. In such cases, these applications are not evaluated after the closing of admission.

The competitive majors are specific admission requirements into the admission of undergraduate programs. Competitive majors are biomedical sciences, computer science, journalism and media, etc.
