About

At SCSU  ALL students are viewed as exploratory.  The goal of the Explore Program is for every student to declare their major with intention and make a meaningful major choice based on the facts about majors and self-knowledge.  

What is the Explore Program?

The Explore Program is a university-wide collaboration with the shared goal of helping all students make an informed academic major choice.   By offering extensive resources and intentional programming, the Explore Program seeks to engage every student through thoughtful major exploration.  This is an important student success initiative, because students who take the time to explore majors are more likely to graduate, have improved academic performance and personal outcomes.
