Undeclared Liberal Arts or Sciences


FindYourPath

Explore your options, find your path. 

If you are undecided about your major, you’re not alone. We’ve helped countless students find their vocational callings and pursue them well. Whether you feel unsure about your interests or lack direction, we offer two tracks for undeclared majors—Undeclared Liberal Arts and Undeclared Sciences. Either track would set you up to transition into a major pathway that fits your unique gifts and opens doors to exciting career options. With intentional academic and career advising, over 60 majors to explore, and a high four-year graduation rate, Grove City College is an ideal place to enter as an undecided major and establish your niche. 

While several majors have a tight, eight-semester curriculum, others are more flexible and may be declared during your freshman year or by the end of your sophomore year—by which point most of our undeclared students easily find their fit. If you are seeking guidance in selecting a major, we encourage you to contact Dr. Jim Thrasher, Senior Fellow for Vocational Guidance, who assists prospective students during the college search. If you would like to meet with him in person, you are welcome to schedule an appointment as part of your campus visit.

Program Highlights
  • Two tracks available, both of which give you freedom to explore different pathways before declaring a specific bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree. For a breakdown of required credits, refer to the Undeclared Status Sheet. For detailed course descriptions, refer to the College Catalog.

    • Undeclared Liberal Arts: If your interests lie in social sciences, humanities, teaching, or business, this would be the track for you.
    • Undeclared Sciences (STEM): If your interests lie in science, technology, engineering, or math, this would be the track for you.
    • Both tracks consist of general studies, our humanities core, and foundational courses in your general area of interest to prepare you for one (or more) of our degree programs.
    • When you enroll as an undeclared student, the Office of the Registrar and the Director of Academic Advising work with you to schedule your fall semester with a sampling of courses that align with your major(s) of interest.
    • Our Undeclared Advising Plan provides you with a number of action steps and resources to guide you through the major exploration process.
  • Award-winning Office of Career Services ranked #12 in the nation by The Princeton Review, offering exceptional career counseling and resources. The office emphasizes self-assessment as integral to the pursuit of your vocational calling, and our four-year plan is especially useful in helping undeclared students stay on track with career preparation. Once you solidify your path, you can take advantage of comprehensive services designed to prepare you for your internship and job search, graduate school, and/or the professional working world.
  • Over 60 possible majors to choose from, many of which combine well as a double major.
  • Over 50 possible minors that allow you to specialize or complement your major(s) with interdisciplinary studies.
  • Vocation-enriching humanities core woven into your academic schedule that will strengthen your critical thinking and communication skills while cultivating empathy and a well-rounded understanding of the world.
  • Personal access to caring, accomplished faculty mentors with degrees from such prestigious institutions as Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Yale, Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT, to name a few.

  • Career Outcomes
  • If you’re like 95% of our graduates, within six months you will be prepared to compete for top full-time positions or entry into distinguished graduate schools.

    • Our alumni are making an impact across all industries—with big names like Honda, Lockheed Martin, Ernst & Young, Mayo Clinic, FBI, Samaritan’s Purse, and other employers including thriving startups, schools, nonprofits, and mission organizations around the world.
    • Many of our high-achieving graduates have pursued further education at Duke, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Penn State, NYU, Michigan, UVA and other reputable institutions.
  • Even as an undeclared student, you are still likely to graduate in four years—like 84% of our students (compared to the national average of 53%). This is largely due to the guidance of faculty advisors, as well as our dedicated career services and registrar staff, flexible class scheduling, and a motivating environment where students encourage each other to be faithful stewards of their time and resources.
  • Wherever your calling takes you, you will be well equipped to hit the ground running in your career by making the most of our excellent resources. Coming out of college with a degree rooted in the liberal arts, you will be a more thoughtful and intentional person of integrity who can think critically, communicate well, and add value to your field. Our students are known for their solid work ethic and teachable spirit, both of which speak volumes to employers regardless of industry.
