Discover Education – Undecided
Considering possible majors? Finding a way to combine your interests? That's good! Many students begin college before they decide on a major, and many students change their major at some point in their academic journey.
Discover Your Strengths
From the moment you step on campus, our entire Duquesne community is rooting for your success and will help you find an education career path that is right for you. Your first year as a a Discover Education student is about exploring your options and discovering your strengths by:

Discover Education Student Feedback
I jumped into the School of Education and told myself it would be okay if I transferred to another school at Duquesne. However, now that I’ve completed my first year in the education school, I could not imagine being anywhere else. I have enjoyed every single one of my classes.
