Academic Advising

Many students begin their studies at William Carey University undecided on an academic major or definite career path. OSA offers guidance in selection of core courses to those students as well as assistance in assessing interests and talent which might assist students in selecting a major field.

If you would like more information about declaring an undecided major, please contact Mrs. Karen Golson in the Financial Aid Office.
