Which statement is true about undeclared majors and core class registration?

• A. Core classes should be prioritized
• B. Transfer courses should be prioritized
• C. Electives should be prioritized
• D. Online courses only

Answer: (A)

When you’re undeclared, the best move is to prioritize core classes that fulfill general education and degree requirements. These courses are required for most programs and count toward graduation regardless of which major you eventually choose, so taking them early keeps you on track and preserves flexibility for later decisions. They also build foundational knowledge and ensure you meet prerequisites for a wide range of upper-level or major-specific courses, reducing the risk of delays later in your academic plan. Electives and transfer courses are useful in the right context, but they don’t universally safeguard progress the way core courses do. Online options may be convenient, but limiting yourself to online only isn’t necessary or typically required.
