Undecided, Undeclared Exploratory Major - After Graduation

Future Careers

MHCC Career Coaches are here to help you explore your career options after graduation. Below are a few common paths graduates can pursue.

Transfer Student

Deciding on a college major is a big decision, and it's okay if you're not sure what you want to study right away. Some students choose to start with an undeclared major, which means they haven't picked a specific field of study yet. If you begin college without declaring a major, you have the chance to take a variety of classes in different subjects. This can help you figure out what you enjoy and where your interests lie. If, after some time, you decide you want to transfer to a different university, you generally have the flexibility to do so. It's important to check the transfer policies of the universities you're interested in, make sure your grades are good, and consider how your completed coursework will transfer to the new school. Transferring gives you a fresh start in a new environment and the opportunity to pursue a major that aligns better with your goals and interests.

Apprentice

If you're not sure what you want to study in college and have an undeclared or undecided major, there are cool ways to explore your interests. You can check out apprenticeships, which are like on-the-job training experiences. These let you work with professionals in different fields to see what it's really like. It's a hands-on way to figure out what you enjoy and what you might want to study. Apprenticeships help you gain real work experience and make connections in the industry. This hands-on experience can make it easier for you to decide on a major later on. It's like trying on different hats to see which one fits you best!
