Designating an Exploratory Major

In the Spring term of their first year, students will engage in a process of designate an Exploratory Major. This is a required procedure and is intended to promote reflection upon emerging disciplinary interests and to help prepare the student for the Declaration of Major (NOTE: The designation of an Exploratory Major is not an official declaration of major.  For information on this process, refer to “Declaration of Primary Major”). After the student has identified an Exploratory Major, a new advisor in that field of study will be assigned, unless their current first-year advisor already is in that major and available to provide service in the student’s second year.
