Undecided

The information on the tabs below will help students currently declared as Undecided majors to choose appropriate classes for their first semester. The recommendations below are for your first semester only, so you may have additional Core requirements, for example, that you'll learn more about during your first semester here. 

Focus On: Undecided Majors

Undecided majors who are absolutely uncertain about what direction to pursue are able to take a semester of Core courses. That's a great way to start. Students who know a direction in which they'd like to go may find the Focus On tabs below to be helpful. Based on the Career Communities offered by Career Services, you'll find information on the industry groups in each of the three career communities, along with more specific course recommendations for students heading in those directions. The Focus On information is less about majors and more about career interests.

Advising Notes

Important Notes for Undecided majors from Advising:

  • Look over other course recommendations on the website related to majors you are considering to help identify “introductory-level” courses in subject areas that interest you.  
  • It’s okay to be undecided! Most majors do not require four full years to complete. This semester we encourage you to complete UCWR 110 (required of all majors) and some Core classes while you explore and consider your options. 
  • Some Core subject areas are more likely to be required for many students, regardless of major. These include Theological, Philosophical, Literary, Ethics, or Historical Core." 
  • We do recommend starting in science and math courses (BIOL 101, calculus-track math course based on math placement, etc.) if you are seriously considering a science major, and/or are planning to complete pre-health requirements.  It is easier to start them now and discontinue later if you change your mind, than it is to start later. 
  • PathwayU is a career exploration tool to help you understand how your academic and career interests align and can be particularly valuable for students who are currently undecided. To help you get started in learning more about yourself we ask that students take the following steps ahead of registration:  
    • Login to luc.pathwayu.com 
    • Select “Join Now” to create your account 
    • On the MyJourney page select “Take Assessments” 
    • Complete assessments 
  • Don’t forget to check the AP/IB guide to ensure you know if you have any incoming credit that will count towards your Core requirements.
