You're not alone. Recent research at Michigan State University revealed that at least three out of four college freshmen were undecided or unsure about their majors. Research even shows that three out of every four students who do declare majors change them one or more times in the course of their college careers. So don't be alarmed if you're not yet prepared to commit to a specific academic path. Some of the most capable, multitalented students have the hardest time choosing majors because they have so many options open to them.
Some students have several areas of interest and find it difficult to select just one.
Others recognize the importance of a college education but have not received career counseling and, therefore, are not prepared to declare a major. Whatever the reason, if you have decided to take a period of time to explore your options before choosing a major program of study, Lander University is equipped and willing to help you with this very important decision through the GENeral EDucation Student Program. Exploring choices is the pathway to academic success. While exploring your options at Lander, you will be pursuing a General Education Core Curriculum and will be known as a General Education student. You will be sent a survey that, when completed and returned, will help us match you with a compatible advisor.
