Pre-major is an undeclared major usually within a defined college or program. Someone could be pre-major health professions or pre-major College of Communications if they were accepted into that college but had not selected a specific program.
Schools do this because students change their majors a lot the first two years, and a lot of majors within a college might have the same course requirements at least for the freshman year. The college can have a counselor advise freshmen and then parcel them out to advising by faculty once they have a better idea of what they want to do.
