You can choose from a wide variety of courses and get academic advice on possible majors and careers. Once you’ve discovered first-hand what Carleton has to offer, you’ll be in a better position to decide on your future path. The BA Undeclared is a program of study within the Bachelor of Arts for students who want to explore their options before deciding on a particular major. It is the perfect option for (1) students who are interested in multiple fields within the Bachelor of Arts and are having a difficult time deciding on one area of study, or (2) students who feel that they would benefit from experiencing their first-year classes before deciding on a particular area of study.
