Undeclared
Discover your path at your own pace.
Some students enter college knowing exactly what they want to major in and exactly what career field they want to enter upon graduation. For many, however, things are a little less certain – some students may need to explore different possibilities to find the right fit.
About the Program
Albright offers particular support to students who have not yet declared or combined a major. This program combines academic coursework, focused advising and a specialized living environment, students are empowered to explore new fields and interests. During this exploration, students are supported by caring faculty, supportive campus services and distinct learning experiences to help them discover their path.
What Does It Mean To Be Undeclared?
At Albright College, we emphasize that it’s fine for students to enter college without a clear idea of which academic program they wish to pursue and what their ultimate career will be. Even those who enter with certainties often find themselves in transition between majors more than once as their studies progress. Nationally, about 70% of students change their major during their college career. Being undeclared and/or undecided isn’t a cause for panic, for you or your parents! The opportunity for academic exploration is a unique life opportunity, and it is central to the educational experience at a liberal arts college like Albright.
Career Development Center
The Career Development Center (CDC) is a key resource of undeclared students, helping to identify their strengths and interests, learn about potential careers, and even undertake internships that help them define their goals. The Center offers career assessment/testing and welcomes one-on-one appointments with students.
