Undeclared/Undecided is a great way to start
Did you know that most students change their major at UC Davis? If you are starting your first year in an Undeclared major, or if you are undecided about your declared major, you are not alone. We encourage major exploration and offer guidance and resources to support the process of deciding on a major.
The College of Letters & Science provides a unique environment for self-discovery at a critical time in students' development. We are committed to supporting and empowering students as they create an individualized plan for self-exploration and thoughtful investigation of major and career options.
