Identify Core Requirements
Start by understanding the basic courses needed for graduation. Even if your major is undecided, there are common classes that everyone must complete. Tackling these early allows more flexibility for interesting or major-specific courses in your later years.
Exploring Your Major

Broaden Your Horizons
Embrace the opportunity to learn outside your comfort zone. Delve into subjects like art, music, or any area that piques your interest. These experiences enrich your personal growth and perspective.
The Value of Diverse Learning
