Sometimes we need to try things out before we know what we're interested in. That's why we offer the meta-major! If you think this is you, keep reading.
The meta-major proves you don't have to know exactly what you want to do right off the bat. Sometimes we need to learn a bit more before we make a commitment, and that's okay! Some students know exactly which field they want to pursue, and others don't. You may be surprised to learn that each year, about 15 percent of our incoming freshmen and a number of transfer students begin as deciding students!
We're here to help you discover your passion. All Northwest deciding students are offered a professional advisor to help navigate the career exploration and class selection process. You'll also learn a little bit more about yourself, including your skills, abilities, interests, values and needs!
You may be wondering how this works. Sadly, we don't have enough time to dive deep into every single subject. (We wish we could!) We can, however, give you four meta-majors to choose from. Specializations include sciences, business, education and university studies.

If you know you like science, but you're not sure which branch of science you like best, you may consider this track. To discuss this program with the Student Success Center, contact them at 660.562.1695 or studentsuccess@ctienviron.com.
This major is perfect if you think you might like business but want to learn more before fully committing. To discuss this program with the Student Success Center, contact them at 660.562.1695 or studentsuccess@ctienviron.com.
Even if you know you want to be a teacher, you may not know exactly which subject and grade level to focus on. If this is you, you may consider the education meta-major! To discuss this program with the Student Success Center, contact them at 660.562.1695 or studentsuccess@ctienviron.com.
You may be thinking, What if I have absolutely no idea what I want to do? We've got you. The university studies meta-major is for those who aren't interested in science, business or education. We're here to help you find your passion! To discuss this program with the Student Success Center, contact them at 660.562.1695 or studentsuccess@ctienviron.com.
