TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLORE
We believe every student should be exploratory! Whether you’re completely undecided, comfortably declared, or somewhere in between...it’s best to take the time to examine your options before fully committing to a major.
TME is a University-wide program dedicated exclusively to major exploration.
HOW MAJOR IS YOUR MAJOR?
DON'T RUSH YOUR DECISION
Studies show that students who take the time to explore and/or change majors graduate at higher rates than students who commit early.
WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT
Before choosing a major, it's helpful to know what employers value most when hiring college grads.
Hint: it's not your major.
HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR MAJOR?
Your choice of major is an important one, but not for the reasons you might think. Hear from a former Dean on what he thinks is most important.
