Current Students

• Students are assigned an exploratory advisor who will guide them through the journey of finding a best-fit major. CES advisors will get to know their students on a personal level in order to tailor services and tools to meet each student's academic needs. 

• Discovering UC (MLTI-1075) is a 3 credit hour course designed to help first-year exploratory students choose their best-fit major. In this class, students are given the opportunity to explore all majors, programs, and services offered at UC with step by step guidance from exploratory advisors who serve as the instructors of this course. MLTI-1075 is available in both the fall and spring semesters. 

• Learning communities allow exploratory students with shared academic interests to take university courses together as a cohesive group.  Research shows that participation in learning communities promotes academic success and fosters relationship building with university faculty members and classmates.

• Declaring a major is an exciting time! Students ready to declare a major will need to fill out a “Change of College” form. Make sure to check in with your exploratory advisor when officially declaring a major since some application processes require additional steps and to be sure that you meet the Transition Requirements for the college you’re applying to.
