Program overview

If students' interests fall into the business realm, but they are unclear which program of study to choose from, the undeclared business option is a good place to begin. By building on the liberal arts and business core components, the undeclared business option provides students up to a year and a half to declare a major. During this time, students complete required courses (including liberal arts courses) that provide an understanding of all facets of business and serve as a foundation for the undeclared option as well as advanced study in a specific area of interest. Advisers are available to assist students in selecting a major that matches their area of interest.
