Special Program

Undecided

Students in the Undecided program have as their primary objective graduation from one of the programs offered at Midlands Technical College. To help students determine which college track to enter, IDS 102, which stresses personal and career assessment, is recommended. Students who know they want a degree but are undecided about what their four-year major will be should enroll in the Associate in Arts program.

Students entering the Undecided program are advised by Counseling and Career Services. The licensed counselors provide seminars, various interest inventories, aptitude tests and other career planning instruments to help undecided students determine which programs at Midlands Technical College best suit their interests and objectives. Counselors continue to advise each undecided student until the student selects a major, which must be done upon the completion of 12 curriculum semester hours.

Courses frequently recommended to undecided students include courses designed to improve study skills, courses required by most degree majors and/or courses that introduce students to fields in which they show interest. Students may select from the following courses if they are not required to take any Developmental Studies (DVS) courses or after they have completed needed prerequisite DVS courses.
