    The one-year Exploratory Studies program at UCBA does not lead to a degree.  The program offers opportunities to explore possible careers and majors, and, after one year in the program, students are required to select a degree program.  After exploring their options, students may select one of many associate degree programs offered at UCBA, both the applied/career programs that lead to immediate employment or one of many Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees that allow for smooth transition into baccalaureate programs at UC. Students may also choose to apply to a selective program at another UC College after a semester or a year. 

    Please note that students interested in the following programs, should not select Exploratory Studies. The college offers other one-year programs that are better suited to these career choices:

    • Students interested in pursuing the associate's degree in nursing, dental hygiene, or radiologic technology should apply to the Pre-Health Professions one-year program to prepare for selective admissions into these degree programs. 
    • Students interested in applying to the baccalaureate program in Special Education or Secondary Language Arts should select the UCBA one-year program: Pre-Special Education or Pre-Secondary Language Arts.
