Many students excel in the humanities, and they love the history, English, and social science courses they took in high school. But some are unsure which direction to choose when it comes to picking a college major. Liberal arts exploration gives you the time to figure out who you are and better understand the kind of work you love to do. Through intensive one-on-one advising, meetings with faculty members, and hundreds of courses to choose from, you can take the time to explore your personal and career interests before committing to a major. You'll gain a better understanding of your goals and interests, as well as your career aspirations, as you remain on track to graduate in four years.
Liberal arts exploration is an undeclared option designed to allow students to complete required liberal arts, mathematics, and science courses while actively pursuing career exploration and receiving individualized academic advising. Students may stay in the option for up to two years (or 60 credit hours) before they must choose a major. The option offers students the flexibility and time to explore a variety of majors within the College of Liberal Arts without delaying their graduation.
