Did you know that approximately 1/3 of incoming first year students are truly Undecided? Sounds crazy right!? Yet, many of these students enter the university in a degree-granting major, but will likely change their major at some point during the first year. Out of the 1/3 students, approximately 200 students find their home in University College’s Undecided area. This iSHARE section will focus on what Undecided advising looks like at MTSU – more specifically, who are the students, what does Undecided advising look like, and the exploration process to minimize what I call… the “flip flop” effect. Also, there will be time set aside to dialogue on how students can best transition from Undecided to their respective degree-granting major.
