Still Deciding or Unsure
If you鈥檙e not certain which career path to take, or if you have several interest areas you want to explore before choosing a major, you鈥檙e not alone.听In fact, “still deciding” is one of our most popular majors!听
Still deciding? Several interests? This is the place for you.
At 糖心传媒, we welcome students like you. We know you鈥檒l thrive thanks to core programs we offer and the opportunity to explore during your first year. Or two.
Since our students choose a major and a minor (or second major) 鈥 as well as a certain number of Exploration courses 鈥 begin where you’re most comfortable or have the most interest.
Since our academic approach allows this type of freedom, and not a prescribed path, you’ll be able to try new things while fulfilling graduation requirements.
You’ll also have access to MCode for Students, an assessment tells you what energizes and drains you 鈥 and what you naturally do better than anyone else, and why. When you know what drives you, you’ll show up with purpose, plug into campus life and make better academic, career, and social decisions.
In the end, you may surprise yourself with what clicks, what inspires you and the direction you take. And with more than 40 majors and pre-professional programs, you’ll ultimately discover the perfect major and minor.
