“General Sciences and Arts allowed me to explore the many different majors, programs, and clubs at Tech. It gave me insight to programs that I knew nothing about. Even if you have a good idea about what you want to do, I would recommend taking this program.” GSA Student, 2008
“It's very helpful in getting a better perspective on the university." GSA Student, 2008
Many college students would like more time to explore possible career paths before choosing a major. In fact, more than half change their major at least once. The General Sciences and Arts Program gives you the advantage of time (up to three semesters) to explore the many options available at Michigan Tech without delaying graduation or losing money pursuing a major that isn't right for you.
Your academic advisor will help you plan your schedule with courses that satisfy the general education requirements of all majors and will provide resources and guidance to help you find a major that best suits your interests, talents and values.
