Why the Exploratory Program at аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp University?

The exploratory program gives you the freedom to consider all your degree options and provides assistance for you to develop your educational, personal, and career objectives. 

  • Enjoy exploring! Why? Because there is nothing wrong with not knowing what you want to major in when you begin college. 
  • Discover and invest in YOU. What do you enjoy? What are your strengths? Self-knowledge is essential to the exploration process and creates a pathway to future decisions. 
  • One-on-One Attention. You will work with a dedicated Advisor who is invested in supporting your educational, career and personal success. Your Advisor is there to keep you focused and affirm your path. 
  • Get to know our undergraduate majors. Major exploration is a process that empowers you to connect your interests, abilities, skills, values, personality, and preferences with the more than 30 areas of study at аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp. You will take introductory level courses in programs of interest to assist in the exploring process. 
  • Test drive your future. Take advantage of the Sullivan Career and Life Planning Center to find job shadowing opportunities, internships, schedule informational interviews, and learn more about careers. 
  • Take risks and follow your passions. Take charge of your education, try new things, challenge yourself, and step outside of your comfort zone. Take a class, attend campus events, take a workshop, or join a club that you find interesting. Remember, this is your time to explore, so celebrate all the opportunities you have.

I chose to be an Exploratory major not because I didn’t know what I wanted to major in, but because I wanted to experience different types of classes. I wanted to learn from an array of faculty and see different teaching styles before definitely deciding on a major. аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp truly works with you to help you figure out which program is best suited for you. I took courses from several different majors and programs to really get a feel for what I’m interested in." - Karina, Former Exploratory Major
