Majors, Minors & Programs

At Hastings you’ll choose a major and a minor (or second major), plus complete the Exploration and Foundation.

The major gives you the expertise and depth you need, while the minor gives you additional breadth and understanding for a successful career and life. 

The Foundation includes first-year critical thinking, communication and college life courses, plus the included travel course. It’s the base you build upon for a successful college career! Exploration lets you choose courses in interest areas across campus, providing you the breadth you need to navigate a career. But if you’re undecided, it’s a way to help discover your passion, too.

If you’re unsure of your major, you’re not alone. Our first-year program, which includes CliftonStrengths, is perfect for helping you discover your path — and our Personalized Program lets you customize your experience even more.

We’ve found successful graduates are mentally flexible, excellent communicators, creative thinkers and able to solve problems—and the Hastings curriculum is designed to help you excel in all these areas.
