The Academic Exploration Program (AEP) helps students with undecided majors and undeclared majors (exploratory students) identify and pursue their academic and professional goals. Through a combination of instruction, reflection and exposure, students gain the experience and confidence to declare a major and succeed professionally. The key to success in the Academic Exploration Program rests with the student-academic advisor relationship. Each student in AEP is assigned an advisor, with whom they will spend time in the classroom and in one-on-one advising within the first semester. The award-winning academic advisement in AEP is integrated throughout the AEP curriculum and helps students select the major and career path that's best for them through the lens of whole student development.
