When you register at your school, you may need to declare a major (if you don't declare one, you'll be considered "Liberal Arts" or "undeclared" until you do, and you'll be assigned an advisor. Depending on your major, you may have all your course work planned out for you. Other majors may be less structured, but you'll be given choices and told to take "X" number of credits from different categories (humanites, sciences, math, etc.) Each class has a code for what students can take it (100 level is for freshmen, 200 for sophomores, 300 for juniors, etc. if they expect you to have a background in the subject matter or not) and sometimes (depending on the class) you might be able to take a lower numbered course than your class standing, but not ususally one above. Some classes will have prerequisites that you must have taken (and passed, sometimes with a specified grade) before you can be enrolled. A few classes might be "with permission of instructor" for which a professor will interview you and your qualifications befor admitting you, unless they already had you for a class. Each school will be a little different, so if you have any in mind that you might want to attend, you can probably find information on line in a student guidebook under "Advisement" or your major's "Course Descriptions".
As far as what you might plan for a major, some people try to plan this when their in high school, but many find something else of interest when the start school and have taken a few classes. Or, they find they don't like their chosen major as much as they though they might. Be flexible and open to what interests you.
