EIU Undeclared Majors

Advising

When you’re still mulling over that major, taking the right classes is key. You want to go ahead and take care of some of your general education courses, but you also need to take some electives in order to figure out what interests you the most.

That’s where the Academic Advising Center comes in. Their advisors are here to help you get into the right mix of classes, and they can also direct you to the faculty members and students who can help you find your niche.

In addition, the Academic Advising Center website is a great resource for all the important dates and deadlines associated with getting registered for classes.

Career Services

Whether you’re undecided on a major or unsure if your current major is the right fit, Career Services at EIU can turn your uncertainty into a plan of action.

Career Services offers numerous workshops designed to help you clarify your career goals, and its Focus 2 online assessment program is a powerful tool that allows you to learn more about yourself and which majors and careers might match up with your interests and abilities. They can also set you up with externships as a way of “test driving” a career before you graduate.

If you feel more at ease talking things over in a one-on-one setting, Career Services also has career counselors on staff; they specialize in providing sound advice and guidance to students just like you.
