Explore, Discover, Declare

You might know exactly what you want to study right now. 你可能不会. And maybe you’re somewhere in between. It’s okay to be uncertain about what you want to major in! 美丽的圣. 劳伦斯 liberal arts education is that no matter where you are in deciding, we give you plenty of time to explore.

Our students don’t have to declare a major until the second semester of their sophomore year, 和St的每个人. 劳伦斯—from your professors and advisors to the Center for Career Excellence team—is here to help guide you through the discovery process.

Personal 学术顾问

You will have faculty advisors in your corner even before you move to campus and throughout your academic career. When you’re assigned a 一年级的计划, you’ll find out who your advisor is and work with them to create your schedule and start mapping out all of the academic adventures you plan to pursue.

As you take more courses that interest you, you’ll find  your way to academic programs that inspire you and get a better sense of where you want to concentrate your studies. Have a discussion with your faculty advisor and a professor or two in the major you’re interested in. When you’re ready to declare a major, you’ll transition to a faculty advisor in that program.

追求你所热爱的

As you dig into courses that spark your curiosity, you may discover you have multiple academic passions. Instead of choosing between them, you can embrace your academic curiosity by choosing to declare a double or combined major, 或者是未成年人. 

双学位

To achieve a double major, you’ll pursue concentrated work in any two established majors and meet the course requirements for each—and the combinations are endless. English and neuroscience. Performance and communication arts and psychology. 哲学与生物学. Our undergraduate course catalog is your oyster.

结合主要

A combined major is different from a double major in that you are not completing all requirements for both majors, but rather pursuing a pre-defined combination of two fields into a single interdisciplinary major. Our combined majors demonstrate the extent to which our faculty and academic programs partner and collaborate with others. Think anthropology and African studies, geology and environmental studies, or international economics and Spanish.

小

Choosing a minor is not required, but is another way to explore everything that interests you. Most departments and programs offer a minor and they can be declared as late as your senior year. Students with a single major may elect up to two minor fields; students with a double major may elect one minor field.
