Fast Facts about Undeclared Students

Nationally, almost 50 percent of students who enter college and universities are undecided about their academic and career goals.  Seventy-five percent of students in colleges and universities change their majors at least once before graduation.  On average, people change their careers seven times throughout their lives.  Students may have some idea of a focus area but they want to try a few things firsts.  At ESU META Majors are a group of majors that share common elements with each other like: career paths, curriculum and classes, and content.

  • Art, Communication, and Design
  • Business, Managerial, and Entrepreneurship
  • Education
  • Health Professions
  • Social Sciences
  • STEM

The goal of the Meta-Major program is to help you declare a major that best fits your interests and career goals by the end of your first year at ESU, keeping you on track for graduation.  This starts by connecting with Meta Major academic advisor.
