UNDECIDED? With more than 200 areas of study, Southeast offers a broad range of majors and possibilities. We think this is the best way for you to make sure you are doing what you like and making the right choices. We also provide the opportunity for you to change majors if you choose to do so. With so many choices there are advantages to starting out as an undecided major. Begin your course work with classes that interest you and explore career options. If you are undecided about a major, then a comprehensive university is the only logical choice. Try out a variety of options before you make that final decision about your career.
