Undeclared - General Option

Choosing a major can be difficult. Some students need to sample a wide variety of fields before they realize where their education needs to take them. If that sounds like you, consider University of the Sciences’ undeclared-general option, which lays the curricular foundation for every major at the University.

Careers

By taking a wide-ranging set of courses without declaring a major, you’ll be prepared to focus your education in a more specific direction in your second year and beyond.

More importantly, regardless of what you choose to study, you’ll be prepared either to enter the workforce and contribute immediately or to continue your education at the post-graduate level. Whether you envision your future as a physician, an occupational therapist, a research scientist, or any other of the many professionals so sought after in the healthcare industry, we can prepare you to shape the science of health—even if you’re not yet certain which specific direction you want to take.
