Undecided? That’s Okay.
We have the Department of Exploratory Studies
Undecided is the second-most popular major in the U.S. Direct-from-high-school students who don't know what they want to major in can make the Department of Exploratory Studies their temporary home for up to three semesters. In the Undecided Program, you'll receive personal attention from academic advisors who will help you identify options, select classes and choose a major. Additionally, all students who enroll in the Undecided Program take a specially designed course to help you identify your strengths and interests and match those to a degree program. When you are ready, your academic advisor will refer you to the appropriate academic college to declare your major and continue on to earn your degree.
