Exploratory students work with advisors whose whole job is helping you find your fit. Meet over Teams, talk through your interests, and walk away with a plan for next semester.
As an Exploratory Online Major you are eligible for a scholarship of up to $1000 per semester.
As an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Online student, you receive all benefits of in-person students, including 24/7 tutoring and mental health support, plus dedicated Success Coaches for your online journey.
You don’t have to know where you’re headed to start moving. As an Online Exploratory student you take real ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï classes, earn real credit, and spend your first stretch of college learning what you actually want to study.
General Studies courses fulfill requirements every ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï degree shares, and exploratory courses across departments let you try out fields you’re curious about. When you declare, your work comes with you.
ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has more than 30 online majors, and you can finish in person if that’s where you land. Plenty of students start online and choose an on-campus major along the way. Your credit moves with you either way.
You won’t be doing this alone. Two teams work with Exploratory students from your first semester until the day you declare.
The Exploratory Advising team specializes in helping students choose a major. They meet over Teams, use a free strengths assessment called MCODES to help you sort out what you’re drawn to, and walk you through Major Exploration Guides that group ÍøÆسԹϒs programs into themes like business, health, STEM, design, and social impact. You leave each appointment with a clearer head and a plan for next semester.
Your Online Success Coach handles the rest. Scheduling, tech questions, balancing school with work, knowing which campus office to call when something comes up. You’ll meet yours early and they stay with you.
If your interests cross fields in a way no single major captures, ÍøÆسԹϒs Online Individualized Degree Program lets you build one. You work with a specialist and faculty advisor to design a focused, interdisciplinary degree plan, then earn a B.A. or B.S. on the path you mapped.
IDP isn’t automatic. You apply, propose your plan, and get it approved. It’s a great fit for students who explore for a semester or two and realize their direction lives between disciplines.
If a single theme doesn’t capture what you’re after, you can mix across them. Many Exploratory students do.
How organizations run, decide, and grow.
People, care, and the systems behind both.
How communities work and how to make them better.
Telling stories, building things, and shaping how people learn.
How people communicate and what it tells us about each other.
Technical fields where systems thinking pays off.
