As a liberal arts college, Canisius gives you a chance to explore fields of study you may not have considered before. Our core curriculum covers a variety of subjects to give you a chance to adapt to college life and get your feet wet without getting left behind. Sometimes this experience inspires students to major in two different fields, strengthening their preparation for their chosen professions. Even if you are undecided about a major, you will be assigned an academic advisor who can help answer your questions and work with you on deciding a path that meets your needs and interests. Every Canisius student is assigned an academic advisor who assists in course selection, major prerequisites and the selection of internship opportunities.
Advisors take an active role in preparing students for life after college.
