Current Student Information

The information below is intended for incoming CUE&A students who have already attended a New Student Orientation Registration Day.  

As you start to think about your major, there are several things to keep in mind:

• Your major doesn't dictate what you will do for the rest of your life.
• There is no perfect major.
• Taking a personality assessment, an interest inventory, or other test can be helpful but don’t expect them to have all the answers.
• While academic advisors, career counselors, friends, and family will offer you good guidance, they can’t make up your mind for you — the decision is yours to make.   
• You can change your major if you decide it’s not for you, but there may be consequences depending on your level of completion — be sure to consult your academic advisor when you’re thinking about changing your major to help you understand program requirements and make the transition smoother.
