Business Undeclared

You know you want to study business, but you’re not sure of which field. Charlton College of Business introduces students who are undeclared to an array of disciplines to help you make an informed decision about your major.

You’ll have the first three semesters to experience classes in programs like

We help you choose a major

• You’ll consult with faculty and career advisors to identify where you want to go in your career

• You can participate in student organizations that can help you focus your interests

Your curriculum

• A typical course load is 12 to 15 credits per semester. Once 45 credit hours have been accumulated, you must declare a major. Each major requires 27 credit hours or 9 courses.
• Generally, each major has 24 credits of coursework within the major and a 3-credit business elective. A business elective is any 300-400 level course in the College.
• Once you have chosen your major, you will have an advisor in the college who can help you plan the rest of your curriculum.
