The BA Undeclared is a program of study within the Bachelor of Arts for students who want to explore their options before deciding on a particular major. It is the perfect option for students who 1) are interested in multiple fields within the Bachelor of Arts and are having a difficult time deciding on one area of study, or students who 2) feel that they would benefit from experiencing their first-year classes before deciding on a particular area of study.<br><br>The BA Undeclared is designed for new incoming students with little or no previous university credit. If you use the Ontario Universities' Application Centre to apply for admission to Carleton, you can choose BA Undeclared as your area of study.<br><br>Students within the BA Undeclared work with university advisors and services during their first year to assess their skills and then, after one year of exploration, students enter a major. While most students choose to enter a major within the Bachelor of Arts after their year of study within the BA Undeclared, others apply for admission to degree programs outside of the Bachelor of Arts.
