Undecided about a major? Don’t worry if you haven’t chosen a major by the time you enroll at Canisius. You’re in good company. Many students wait a few semesters before making that decision. To help you through the process, Canisius provides an excellent environment in which to explore your options.
The hallmark of a Canisius education is our liberal arts core curriculum. These courses, which begin in your first year, expose you to a variety of subject areas that you may not normally consider. These courses all count toward your degree; you need not be concerned that you will fall behind. For all students, the core curriculum not only provides a well-rounded education, but it also helps to confirm their choice of majors and may even inspire you to major in two different fields. A quality education like this provides you with excellent preparation for your career, no matter what profession you choose.
If you are undecided about a major, you won’t travel the road alone. You will have a personal academic advisor who will answer your questions and work with you, as you determine a path that meets your needs and interests. Our Career Center is also ready to help you explore your career options, so don’t wait until senior year to pay them a visit. They can offer practical guidance that will help you make the most of your Canisius education.
