Division of Undergraduate Studies is for students who are unsure of a major or who are considering majors in more than one academic college.
With more than 160 majors to explore, Penn State offers you the opportunity to research all of the academic opportunities in more than one college through enrollment in DUS. If you are considering majors in both the Colleges of Science and Education, for example, you may consider enrolling in DUS to examine various programs before you decide on the one that’s best for you. Once you decide on a particular college or program, you can move from DUS into that area as long as you meet the academic requirements to do so.
Students in DUS have access to the following resources:
- Advising@PSU and specially-trained academic advisers to help with scheduling classes and questions about majors;
- DUS Navigator for help deciding on a college or a major;
- Major Decisions, which provides additional resources to help students decide on a particular program;
- Podcasts with advice for high school seniors and college students about exploring majors and student life at Penn State;
- DISCOVER House, which is an on-campus, living-learning opportunity for students who wish to explore more than one academic option before deciding on a major.
