So, don’t be discouraged, and don’t let this be an excuse to put off enrolling either. It’s perfectly fine to enroll as an undecided major. The important thing is to get the admission application started because college enrollments can be quite a process especially if you are an international student.

You can spend anywhere from 2-6 years in college, so the sooner you start, the better. One thing is certain though: At FNU, you won’t be undecided for long.

The Choice Will Ultimately Be Yours
While FNU will advise and recommend which degree program might best suit your academic goals, the decision is ultimately up to you.

Deciding Between the School of Art or Science?
It’s all about perspective. Most schools are typically separated into schools of arts and science. One way of deciding which degree program to choose is simply figuring out which school of thought appeals to you more. The only way to do that is by understanding what the school of arts and the school of science are about.

You’ll also discover that most of these degree programs are offered in both the school of arts and the school of science. For instance, you have the option of earning an Accounting degree in the school of arts and sciences—choose from two associates in science or art, or just commit to the Bachelor of Science.
For Instance…
There are a number of ways you can go with this degree depending on your areas of interests as well as your professional goals. If you don’t consider yourself a left-brainer but would still like to gain some solid accounting skills, then you can enroll in FNU’s Associate of Arts in Accounting program. The difference between the two is that with the associate in arts, your course curriculum has more general requirements with approximately 23 credits of core requirements mainly in the Principles of Accounting, Microeconomics, Ethics & Social Responsibility, Income Tax Accounting, and Business Law. Your associate’s degree in science has the same core requirements, but the general course requirements are swapped for more accounting electives—approximately 29 credits hours of them to be exact, making it a more intensive accounting curriculum.
This is just one of the examples of understanding the differences between the school of arts and the school of sciences. To get a better understanding, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with an FNU advisor who will better explain in depth how our regionally accredited university’s curriculum can suit your academic needs.
