Undecided Majors
Welcome to the most popular major ever — Undecided!
Not declaring a major right away does not mean you are undecided about life. It means you are keeping your options open until you gather more information, until you find your passion, until you choose a career.
A career is what you do with your life — not what jobs you take. A career that revolves around your passion leads you to a continual desire to keep learning and improving yourself. Learning is the ultimate career.
So being "undecided" is actually the best place to start your ultimate career.
Student Testimonials
"I was influenced to choose my major through taking classes I enjoyed... and that will work with how I want my lifestyle to be."
Sarah, a senior
"I started doing engineering but decided I was more of a people person... I discovered I loved tutoring math, which helped me decide to teach."
Jason, a junior
"When I first started at AU, I was interested in a variety of careers ranging from physical therapy to law. I determined that the best option for my various interests would be to declare my major as Undecided. My advisor recommended I take a myriad of diverse classes to see where my potential passion may be. During my first year I took classes in biology, criminal justice and communications, to see what would catch my attention. I soon realized science classes were not for me and studying law was not my forte. I learned communication was a strength of mine and knew I wanted a career working with people. During a meeting with my advisor, I was encouraged to take a few marketing and sales courses. Within those classes, my passion for business flourished. I recognized my personality and goals were synonymous with a Marketing major. With direction and my own motivation, I was also able to complete two minors: Sales Management and Communication. The guidance from my professors and academic advisors helped me along the path to a bright future in the business world."
