PROGRAM START: FALL 2021
Program Overview
Undecided? Don’t know exactly what your career interest is yet? Then choose our Business Explorations option.
We’ll help you identify an area of interest and then build a tailored academic and work experience roadmap to help you achieve your professional goals.
You’ll start with a basic business and general studies program, developing your critical thinking, analytic and communication skills while you get a clearer sense of the industry major you’d like to pursue. At the same time, you’ll work with dedicated academic and career advisors to hone your interests.
At the end of your first year, you’ll choose a major from a number of business and hospitality programs.
Note: This program is listed as Undeclared in the 2020-21 JWU Catalog; the name change will go into effect starting with the 2021 academic year.
