Major & Career Exploration
Finding the right major and career path can be a stressful, yet exciting, part of your college career. Your Academic Adviser focuses a portion of advising on major and career exploration. There are many useful campus resources which assist in guiding students to find the right major and career path. Students that engage in a
major exploration plan often discover their majors before the end of the third semester.
