Think that exploring majors and exploring careers are the same? Not true!
Majors Exploration
Choosing a major is mostly an academic decision based on understanding the field of study, the coursework required, admission requirements of the program, your own academic skill sets, etc. The Center for Exploratory Studies offers services to provide assistance with major exploration. Check the other pages of this site to see all that we offer. It is also important to do some career exploration while determining your best-fit major.
Career Exploration
The Center for Exploratory Studies partners with the Career Development Center to offer you the on-line DISCOVER career assessment. This tool pulls together information about your work-related interests, abilities, and values. Along with the other assessment tools available, your exploratory advisor will help you understand how the results fit with UC’s majors!
We also encourage students to make use of the other Career Development Center resources, which further assist students with career decision-making and planning.
