Undeclared Students
Many students are undecided about their major when they enter the College at Southeastern. Students who do not have a clear idea of which major to pursue are designated as Undeclared students.
Undeclared students must be admitted into either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree even though they have not yet declared a major of study. Undeclared students follow a track of courses that will allow them to progress toward graduation by completing general education courses before declaring a major.
While it is proper to explore choices, students should also pursue a course of study that culminates in graduation. For this reason, there is a limit to the length of time students may remain Undeclared students. Before completing 63 hours, students who have entered the College at Southeastern must officially declare a major before the next term of enrollment.
Students can formally declare a major at any time during the first two years of their degree. Once a student declares and is admitted into a major of study, they will be under the degree requirements of the academic catalog current at the time they are admitted into the major.
