Most students don’t know about all the options that exist when they start college, and don’t know how much potential they have in so many different areas! College is an excellent time to discover what you enjoy and what motivates you, and to build the skills you want to use in your career. Even if you have an idea of your academic goals, there are many ways you can enhance your degree. Is a minor right for you? Did you know you can earn a certificate with your major? How about earning academic credit for an internship? Exploring helps you get the most out of your time in college. That’s why exploring is for everyone – there is so much exciting stuff to learn!
- Rethinking your current major, or just want to know what's out there?
- Considering a second major? Did you know that was possible?
- Want to know what minors are available and whether you should get one?
- Certificates? What even are those?
