Vision Quest: A Program of Discovery

Is it okay to be Undeclared at Dominican?

Yes! Vision Quest provides a unique program for incoming first-year students who are exploring academic, career, and social options. If you're not sure about a major, have no clue about a career, and wonder where you're headed, Vision Quest may be for you!

What are the highlights of the Vision Quest program?

  • You will be enrolled in two high-demand courses that are linked. Both classes satisfy general education requirements and must be taken in the fall semester. Depending on your schedule, you will take either:

    • FYE 1000 Big History (3 units) and SCS 1002 Cultural Anthropology (3 units) or

    • FYE 1000 Big History (3 units) and Rlgn 1178 World Religions (3 units).

  • You will be enrolled in Vision Quest Seminar, a class that focuses on major and career exploration (enrollment limit of 20 per section).

  • You will explore and identify personal values, interests, skills, and strengths.

  • You will meet faculty, alumni, and current students who will visit the Vision Quest Seminar to explain and describe career opportunities within their programs.

  • You will engage in a community of other curious, exploratory students.

  • You will learn financial planning, and good study skills.

  • You will learn how to create a four-year degree plan.

  • You will participate in extracurricular activities with your student and faculty colleagues.

  • All students in the Vision Quest program work with the same academic advisor and the same career counselor.
