Undecided?

It is not uncommon for entering college students to be undecided about an academic major/program or career choice.  Even students who have started a major or degree plan admit to various levels of uncertainty or indecisiveness.  That does not mean that undecided students should relax and think "everything will work out."  Having a goal will motivate you to be more successful as a college student.

The college has a number of resources to help you with your career decisions. You could take an introductory course in a discipline that interests you or you could take a Career Development course (CAOR 1102).  One great place to start, in terms of selecting courses for your first term, is the General Education/MnTC which includes classes in several disciplines including English Writing to support your success in future classes.  You may wish to explore a variety of different subjects to determine your interests and talents.  Note that the MnTC designated courses will transfer as your general education to a four-year university within the MnSCU system. 

Within the counseling and advising area of Educational Services, we have a library of career information, transfer guides for other colleges and computerized career assessments. We encourage you to meet with an academic advisor to discuss your goals and begin the work of deciding what you want to do.
