Overview

Major decisions take time. Many students feel pressure to declare a major right away, but over two-thirds of students at Catholic University of America change majors at least once.

Your Undergraduate Advisor in the Exploratory Major will help you to select courses that appeal to your intellectual curiosity and satisfy core University requirements. With your advisor, you will consider all of your talents and interests, learn more about the subjects that appeal to you, and develop a plan that allows you to explore these subjects while remaining on track for graduation.

Degree requirements

At Catholic University of America, you have until the end of your sophomore year to declare a major. That means you can spend up to four semesters exploring different subject areas. This period of exploration creates the opportunity to consider all of your options and make an informed decision about your choice of major.
