Academic Centers - Advising

Undeclared Option

Undeclared Option

A specialized academic advisor works closely with students exploring major options, interests, and possible career paths before deciding on a major. While undeclared, students select courses that satisfy the foundational Core Curriculum and are also advised to select courses in those majors that may be of interest to them to assist in the exploration process. The academic advisor works closely with career counselors from the Center for Career Readiness & Internship Programs and makes frequent referrals for specific programs that support the major and career selection process. 

Although students have two academic years to declare a major, they are strongly encouraged to do so in their second or third semester so that they can meet all major-specific degree requirements in a timely fashion.
