Unsure about what major to choose? You aren't alone.
Choosing Your Major
Nationally, an estimated 50% of students enter college without having declared a major; 75% of students change their major at least once; and 10% of students change their major twice.
At Dean, we've created a program to help students just like you explore majors in a holistic, dynamic and purposeful manner.
Explore Program
Explore is a program for students who have not yet decided on a major. Through the tools provided in the program, you will learn more about yourself, your goals and – ultimately what to declare as your major.
You will meet with faculty from Dean’s majors to learn about what you would study and could do with that major. You will also work closely with Success & Career Advising to continue your exploration of possible majors.
