Communication and Information Exploratory Program

The College of Communication and Information Exploratory program is designed for students who are deciding among one or more majors in the College.

Exploratory students are required to meet with an advisor every semester.

All full-time, degree-seeking students who first entered Fall 2013 or later must transition out of the exploratory track into a major no later than the end of the fourth tracking semester. Transfer students admitted as exploratory students must transition out of the exploratory track into a major no later than the end of their second semester.
