You might be a student who enters college with a clear idea of academic and career goals and knowing which major is the right one for you. Perhaps no major has yet caught your fancy or you may have difficulty deciding on a major because you find so many subjects interesting and cannot decide which one to pursue.

At Yeshiva College we have several resources to help you make this decision. All of the Academic Advisors are able to discuss these important issues with you. In addition, the staff of the Career Center can help you choose a major and understand its relationship to career choice. They offer individual counseling, vocational testing, a career library, guidance using internet research as well as internship development. You may visit the Career Center in Furst Hall, suite 413.

The Academic Advisement Center and the Career Center have a variety of material designed to help you through the process of choosing a major. Each year we co-sponsor a Majors Fair. Check your emails for future announcements.

We recommend that you have a junior check in the spring of your junior year and a senior check in the fall of your senior year.

You may drop a course online without permission and without a "W" on your transcript until the drop date noted on each semester's calendar. After that date you need permission from a Dean or an Academic Advisor and the withdrawal will be noted on your transcript with a "W".  Students may withdraw from classes with permission and with a "W", only until the last day of classes, prior to the final.
