But they do get still to do the liberal arts curriculum. When I was an undergrad in Israel I got to choose two disciplines: geography and economics - it was a 3 year program. But we did 7 courses a semester.... In Britain the norm was to only do courses in your discipline. So I would reccommend students to decide on a major as early as possible. You don't have to declare it, but start getting the basic classes down in that discipline. You can always switch. I switched from business to economics in the first semester. Oh yes, most undergrad business majors are a waste of time, do economics instead :) If you are interested in business/econ get good math - which is a prerequisite in the sciences anyway. Dual majors are a good option. We have lots of students doing that. Or take a minor. This will put you in good stead for the first two years. Then find some advisor to latch onto who will provide you with reference letters for employment or grad school. If you think you might want to go to grad school this is especially important.
