What if I’m undecided?It’s OK. While you decide, take general education courses and be mapping your courses toward either an associate in arts or associate degree in science. Speak regularly to your advisor about the majors that might interest you. Once you decide, be sure to gear your general education courses toward major requirements.
What if I change my major? You can always change your major, but should be aware that some courses you have taken may no longer count toward your new degree, so evaluate this decision carefully. Contact your advisor or the registrar’s office to make the change official. The Kentucky Course Applicability System (CAS) can help you see how your credits will transfer to a new major.
