What does the Exploratory Program provide?

The Exploratory Program serves as a home for Exploratory majors and provides academic advising to students regarding major exploration options, liberal education requirements, and overviews of KSU major requirements. All exploratory students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor before they register each semester. Academic advising consists of planning your class sequences, clarifying academic policies and procedures, reviewing academic and career goals, and making students aware of various resources available at Kent State University.
