Academic On-Ramps for New Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a temporary home for new freshman students who are undecided about their college major or who are determined through the admission process to need additional support before transitioning into their chosen major, 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Pathway Advising assists students in academic exploration and decision-making through six exploratory pathways called \u201cmetamajors,\u201d which allow students to explore multiple majors that share a general academic theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coursework in these pathways lead to a permanent affiliation with one of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Schools and Colleges by the end of the student\u2019s first school year, with classes that count toward any 51ÁÔÆæ undergraduate degree. Students in Pathway Advising are empowered and encouraged to form advising relationships, collaborate with faculty and instructional staff, and utilize support services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
