Exploratory Major
Exploratory Major
The exploratory major is a transitional program for students who are exploring major and career options either because they are undecided or are unable to meet the admission requirements for their desired majors. One in five new freshmen at Kent State University is enrolled in the exploratory major.
Each exploratory student is assigned an academic advisor who monitors academic progress and assists the student in choosing a degree program. The exploratory major encourages students to take advantage of specialized advising, workshops and other university resources in developing career goals and making informed decisions.
Because a degree cannot be earned while in the exploratory major, it is important that students declare a major or have an approved plan for major declaration by the time they have earned 45 semester hours to facilitate timely progress toward a degree.
