Exploratory Major Program

The Exploratory Major program is a one year program designed for first-year students who are unsure of their academic goals. Through individualized advising and course scheduling, Exploratory Major students will be guided during their first year on campus toward selecting a major that best suits their interests and talents.

At the end of the students' second semester, they will transfer to a degree-granting program which will satisfy their educational goals. Students enrolled in the Exploratory Major program may take elective courses from other academic programs on campus.

The Exploratory Major program is open to fall admission only and is an IBM ThinkPad University Program.
