Business Undeclared
About the Program
The LeBow College of Business offers an Undeclared option that allows incoming students to explore the wide range of academic programs in our college. The program is designed as a point-of-entry for prospective students who know they want to study business, but aren’t sure which of our 12 undergraduate programs is right for them. It gives students the ability to enroll in their freshman year of college and take a one-year sequence of courses, comprehensive career counseling and academic advising that will help them discover their major without losing valuable time. No later than the end of spring term in the first academic year, students are required to select an appropriate major which will lead to a bachelor’s degree.
This is not a degree granting program, a primary major must be chosen and there is no Co-Op with this option. This program is not available to transfer students.
