Description of Major

FSU offers over 170 majors, so deciding on a major can be challenging for many students. Our center offers the Exploratory major to incoming first-year students, as well as comprehensive major-exploration services for first-year students who are currently declared and want to explore their options, gain confidence in their path, and make meaningful academic decisions. We are here to guide students through the major decision process. Whether you have no idea what you are interested in, are torn between two different majors, or have quite a few majors in mind, we can help. Choosing Exploratory as a major at the start of the collegiate academic career can help students eliminate challenges and major decision struggles later on. The goal is for students to confidently declare their major by the end of their first year.
