Step-by-Step Strategies

At Centenary University, students who are undecided about their major have time to explore their passion and skills to build a solid degree for a confident career path. Our step-by-step strategy helps you to learn about yourself and to align your interests, skills and talents with the same common attributes in our degree programs.

Information about yourself

  • Interests:What do you most enjoy learning and doing?
  • Skills:What are you good at?
  • Values:What’s most important to you?
  • Goals:What do you want to accomplish?
  • Personality traits:How do people describe you?
  • Career interests:What kind of work do you see yourself doing?
  • Preferred work environment:What kinds of settings keep you motivated?

Current Undecided Student Advising

Centenary University places a high priority on our responsibility to provide academic advising. Academic Advising is a process that begins with a student’s enrollment at Centenary University and continues throughout their college career. Please only select this if you have not declared a major and are advised by a member of the Academic Success staff. 30 minutes is allotted to meet with your advisor.

Undecided vs. Individualized Studies

Creating your own major and applying to college as an undecided student are not the same thing. Most students who begin “Undecided” eventually declare a traditional major. Individualized Studies students typically have well-defined interests that happen to cross disciplinary boundaries.

Financial Aid

Being able to pay for attending college is no easy task. Located in the Seay Building, the Office of Financial Aid offers assistance to you and your parents to ensure that you have the financial resources to focus on your education.
