You’ll be challenged in all the best ways, supported by a community of academics and mentors dedicated to making sure you can soar with purpose.
If you’re undecided on a major at NU, you’re still in the right place. Between 15-20% of NU’s freshman class participate in our nationally recognized Academic and Career Exploration program, designed for students looking to pair the right major with relevant professional experiences and career pathways.
