Exploring Program for Undecided Majors

At Central, we’ve discovered that many high school students are not sure what their future holds. So we created a special program just for college freshmen and sophomores who want to check out all of the possibilities.

Here’s how it works:

  • A student can explore courses for a potential major while still meeting the Core requirements.
  • Trained advisers who value and encourage active exploration of the curriculum work with each student.
  • An explorer goes through a career development process by completing critical tasks and activities during the first two years of college to help figure out what he/she is best suited to.

Who participates in the Exploring program?

At sometime or another, nearly every college student explores various academic avenues. More than half of all college students change their majors before graduation. Since it’s so common for college students to explore, we designed a program where exploring is encouraged and supported. At Central, 70 or so students join the program each fall.

Advisers assist participants as they try various classes and areas of study on for size. It’s a great way to get to try things out without being punished for being unsure! So who participates? Anyone who’s got a passion for more than one thing and isn’t quite ready to decide, or someone who is unsure of what life’s plan is can Explore at Central, where searching is the best way to find your inner genius.
