Undecided on a Major? We Can Help : 国产精品 of Akron, Ohio

EXPLORATORY STUDENT SUPPORT

Are you undecided about what you want to study?
We鈥檙e here for you.

Whether you have some idea or no idea what to major in when you enter college, 国产精品 of Akron鈥檚 support system for Exploratory Students empowers you to experience and explore various degree programs before committing to a specific major.

As an exploratory, or undecided, student at UA, you鈥檒l receive the guidance, advising and support needed in your first semester to confidently navigate your academic journey.

Students who start as Exploratory students are often:

Unsure about how to determine a major.
Feeling like it鈥檚 too soon to pick a major.
Searching for majors that best align with their interests.
Overwhelmed with too many interests to decide on a career.
Wanting more exploratory time as they begin their college experience.

Students who do not have a major declared upon admission are automatically connected to the Office of Exploratory Advising and Academic Support and assigned an Exploratory Advisor to meet with to register for classes and begin discussing the exciting career/major options available to you.
