The Explore Program welcomes entering students who would like to explore their academic interests before choosing a major and introduces them to Northeastern University’s broad range of disciplines. Working closely with a combination of faculty, academic advisors, and undergraduate peer mentors, undeclared students at Northeastern are engaged in personal and meaningful discovery. They are not just seeking a major; they look for clues to the future and find answers to the question: “How will I make my impact?”
Undeclared students attend a series of exploratory workshops taught by Explore Program advisors and student leaders. Students develop strategic exploration plans to ensure they are able to take full advantage of the vast array of academic and experiential opportunities offered at Northeastern. Students will also attend exploratory programs where they engage with faculty and students in majors to gain an informed understanding of the disciplines that interest them most.
Students may declare a major at any time but are expected to do so by the end of sophomore year. Admission to a particular major is dependent on satisfying the criteria described in this catalog under Degrees, Majors, and Minors.
The Bouvé College of Health Sciences, D’Amore-McKim School of Business, the College of Engineering, and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences also each provide resources to facilitate a major choice for students who enter their respective colleges with undeclared majors.
