Not sure what to major in? No problem.

Le Moyne College is a great environment if you’re still exploring your academic interests. Thanks to our unique courses, small-sized classes and the close relationships you’ll develop with your professors and fellow students, Le Moyne provides support as you consider the majors available to you.

As an undecided or undeclared major on the Heights, you’ll be set up for success as you work closely with advisors in our office and consider each course of study’s outcomes and careers. With support and opportunities, you’ll explore your way to a major on the Heights!

"Undeclared" is in Good Company on the Heights

“Undeclared” is a popular major among our first-year students. Check out the resources Le Moyne provides to students looking for a major.

It’s a Major Decision, but We’ve Got You

At Le Moyne, there are several events and resources that can help you reflect on your interests. Each fall, Majors Week gives you the opportunity to chat informally with our faculty about their areas of expertise. We take a strengths-based approach through the TRAC (Discover your True Academic Calling) Program to help you consider all your options and passions.

The Student Success Center

From tutoring to academic coaches, the Student Success Center can be a good place to talk to a mentor about what your interests are. Oftentimes, your undeclared advisor’s office is in the Center!

Manresa

Through small group conversations and individual reflections, Manresa provides undeclared students with a meaningful opportunity to actively discern what they like and what they want in a career.

Career Advising & Development

Our Career Advising and Development Office can help you learn about job trends and opportunities, broad learning related to majors (e.g., Biology majors can do many things in life!), transferable skills and – through career inventories and strengths-based evaluations – where your gifts and talents lie.

Curious about what majors lead to what jobs? Exploring the experience of our faculty can inspire you or help you think outside the box when it comes to majors and future careers.

“Who says you have to have it all figured out? If you’re anything like I was in my senior year of high school, you may have no idea what you’re doing or where you want to go.  Lucky for you and me, Le Moyne LOVES undeclared students.”

Common Questions

Absolutely! About 15% of freshmen enter Le Moyne as undeclared, so you’re definitely not the only who isn’t sure what they want to do. Actually, almost everyone is unsure. Roughly 75% of students change their major at least once during their college career.

Through personalized advising, exploratory courses, and career counseling, Le Moyne helps you explore your interests and strengths to find the right fit. Each fall, Majors Week gives you the opportunity to chat informally with our faculty about their areas of expertise. We also take a strengths-based approach to help you consider all your options and passions.

You won’t be expected to declare until sophomore year.  Be ACTIVE during that time. Explore your options, take any classes you’re interested in, stay on track with your core curriculum and talk to anyone and everyone you can about what they’re doing and why they like it; try to take steps towards a specific program of study ahead of time

Le Moyne’s TRAC (True Academic Calling) Program is designed specifically for undeclared students. Through this program, you’ll:

  1. Analyze Your Interests: Gain clarity on what excites and motivates you.
  2. Identify Your Strengths and Values: Discover what you’re good at and what’s important to you.
  3. Explore Career Paths: Match your skills and interests to real-world opportunities.

But TRAC is about more than academics—it’s about helping you chart a meaningful plan for your four years at Le Moyne and beyond.
