General Humanities and Social Sciences (Undeclared)

About the Program

The GHSS (General Humanities and Social Sciences) Undeclared program allows students to explore academic options within the College of Arts and Sciences before declaring a major and while staying on track during their first year.

GHSS is not a major; however, all the courses in year 1 are required in some form in the various majors in the Humanities/Social Science side of the College of Arts and Sciences.This selection of courses will “follow” the student to an eventual chosen major in the college. With the help of an advisor, students can select courses based on their interests and goals. No later than the end of spring term in the first academic year, students are required to select an appropriate major which will lead to a bachelor’s degree.

Students will complete co-ops in accordance with the requirements for the major that they choose.
