Exploratory Studies Program

Discover Your Calling

Our Exploratory Studies course is designed for undeclared first-year students seeking to clarify their academic interests and professional goals before committing to a major. This one- or two-semester program allows students to explore a range of disciplines and academic programs while completing core liberal arts requirements.

With a focus on comprehensive academic advising, in-depth career assessment, and formative student-faculty interaction, Exploratory Studies leverages our full range of student success resources to help students identify their ideal major program and discern their vocation under the guidance of a professional academic advisor from the ɫ�� Student Success Center.
