CSUSB’s Undeclared and Exploratory Advising program provides support in exploring the various academic and career pathways that students can take as they decide on a major.
The goal of the Undeclared and Exploratory Advising program at CSUSB is to help you find a major that best suits your goals and interests. Undeclared/Exploratory students will have access to many benefits such as:
- Meet with an Academic Advisor every term to obtain information about the university, review majors offered at CSUSB and understand degree requirements as outlined in the CSUSB Bulletin of Courses (Catalog).
- In partnership with the Career Center, meet with a Career Advisor to review their career assessment results and discuss potential careers of interest.
- Incoming First-Time Freshmen who are undeclared will be enrolled in USTD 1000A (Freshmen Learning Community) as this course covers first-year student success principles and enhances their intellectual, cultural and personal development.
- Utilize major and career exploration tools.
- Become familiar with academic support resources, services and campus events.
