It can be hard for students to decide what they want to major in. In fact, many start college not knowing what interests them and unaware of all the majors available to them. That's where we come in. Choosing the right major is important for student success and our Center for Undergraduate Exploration and Advising (CUE&A) advisors are here to help students along their journey.
As you start to think about your major, there are several things to keep in mind:
Academic Calendar: Review important dates and deadlines each semester
Lynx Central: Discover campus resources and upcoming events
Success Strategies: Set goals for achieving academic success
