Students who are not yet ready to declare a major have the
option of selecting one of three general areas of study – CAS Common
Curriculum, KSOM Business Area, and CPS Common Curriculum – with the
particular major to be determined by the end of the freshman year.
CAS Common Curriculum — First Year
Undecided
students who are interested in exploring one of the majors offered in the
College of Arts and Sciences may enroll in the CAS Common Curriculum program.
Students in this program take a combination of freshman-level General Education
courses and courses in potential majors. Specific courses are chosen in
consultation with an academic advisor. In addition, CAS Common Curriculum
students take a Freshman Seminar designed to help them make informed decisions
about their majors. All CAS Common Curriculum students should take at least two
potential major courses each semester of their freshman year.
