Discover Science – Undecided
Are you ready to make advances in science, but you’re still discovering your path? Most students begin college without a major or change their major at least once. We can help reduce your stress and find your academic path with our Discover Science program.
Program Information
Whether you consider yourself undecided, undeclared, or exploring possible majors, our Discover Science program will help you find the right science career path for you.
I was accepted to Duquesne as ‘undecided,’ but quickly met so many students that
were incredibly welcoming and faculty that included many skilled professors and researchers.
I truly think Duquesne is a hidden gem and thankful that I chose it.
