What if I'm undecided?
That’s OK! If you’re undecided then you probably have lots of interests—which makes you a great liberal arts student. In CLA we offer many majors that students rarely consider before they come here, subjects like: American studies, art history, Chicano/Latino studies, classics, philosophy, or urban studies. You can be successful in CLA whether you decided your major when you were 12 years old or you keep changing your mind.
