On campusStudents applying to the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences are invited to mark their major as "humanities undecided," allowing them to explore academic options throughout their first two years at Stevens.
This flexibility provides students the opportunity to explore diverse disciplines, build critical thinking skills and gain a strong foundation that aligns with the demands of today’s tech-driven world.
Tech-Powered Liberal Arts
The School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) is dedicated to interdisciplinary teaching, research and creativity. With its dynamic and varied programs, HASS is the perfect place for Stevens students to explore their intellectual curiosities before committing to a major.
In every classroom, students engage in scholarly inquiry and develop the critical skills and ethical perspectives, preparing them for future success in any major they choose.
Humanities undecided students will take coursework that introduces them to disciplines within HASS. Together, students and advisors will devise a course of study that allows for both academic exploration and preparation for their future, chosen major.
The Curriculum
Those who enroll at Stevens with their major marked as "humanities undecided" do not need to declare a major until the end of their sophomore year. These students will meet regularly with a faculty advisor to discuss their interests and develop an appropriate study plan.
An example of first-term coursework can be found below. Coursework for subsequent semesters is decided through conversations between the student and their faculty advisor.
