the college of Humanities & Social Sciences at CMU is what you want, then. You are not required to declare a major for two years (and for one year, all students are ‘undecided’; you cannot declare until the end of your freshman year).

The general ed curriculum of HSS requires students to take math/CS, science/engineering, history, language, and arts courses. You are also required to take a diverse set of 5 courses your freshman year that will expose you to a few different areas of HSS. I don’t think most HSS students come in knowing what they want to do, to be honest. Many of my HSS friends changed their majors or did not declare until the end of last year (my sophomore year).
