Students who want to earn a degree or certificate but are undecided about an area of study may initially choose one of three undeclared area of study options. The undeclared areas of study enable students to explore various academic and career options and earn credit toward a variety of degrees or certificates while deciding on a program. The staff of the Counseling, Advising and Retention Services Center is available to assist undeclared students in major and career exploration, declaring a program and in the development of an educational plan.
