That’s how a lot of students start. At NHCC, you can explore, try things out, and figure it out as you go.

It's Okay to Start Undecided

About 40% of students start college undecided. And most students change their major at least once.

Not knowing what you want isn’t a problem. It’s where a lot of people start.

The Easiest Way to Start

When you apply to NHCC, select Liberal Arts AA as your major. You need to select a major if you plan to apply for financial aid, and you can change it when you're ready. 

Liberal Arts allows you to take classes in subjects you're interested and explore the direction you want to go. 

You'll also work with your academic advisor when you register for classes. Your advisor can help to be strategic about what classes to take based on your interests.
