Students who are undecided about their major, should explore options fully before declaring a major. Students who wait to declare a major in the first year, generally do no prolong their anticipated completion date. However, professional programs (e.g., nursing, education) can take longer due to the sequencing of courses. Undecided students can seek special assistance from the Academic Advising Office and the Career Studio to assist with the decision-making process.
Many students come to college knowing the area in which they intend to major. Others are less sure. In either case, a first-year course called Preprofessional Seminar (PPS-129) helps a student declare a major confidently.
For a student who is reasonably sure of their intended major, Preprofessional Seminar helps a student understand the course of study necessary for the major and the career options it creates. For a student who chooses not to declare a major in the first year, Preprofessional Seminar helps with investigating possibilities. Preprofessional Seminar also acquaints a student with Alverno’s career development program, which will help sort out and prepare students for post-college plans.
