Merrimack College’s Discover Program provides academic advising for students who have not yet declared a major.
Did you know that 75 percent of American college students either start their college academic journey as undeclared or have changed their major?
There is no need to be concerned if you don’t know what you want to major in yet. The Discover Program is designed to provide support to Merrimack undeclared students to ensure graduation in four years.
When you enroll as an Undeclared Liberal Arts major you are automatically part of the Discover Program and have access to all of our exploration support services. We treat your undeclared status as its own major and you get all the same support and resources you’d have if you were a declared major.
We do not push you into a specific major. Instead, we help you discover the direction you want to pursue in your life and career.
Our goals are to help you stay on track to finish college in four years, develop self-regulated learning skills and learn to advocate for yourself.
Our academic advising includes one-on-one meetings to help you better understand yourself and your decision-making process. We offer workshops and opportunities to feel part of the community. We are here to empower you to make the best decisions for your future.
“Discover helped me learn more about myself and allowed me to explore ideas beyond my comfort zone. The program brought me closer to my classmates and introduced me to some of my favorite staff who go above and beyond in helping us go in the right direction.”
