Exploratory Advising Program

Academic Day 09012015 kmh 11

Exploratory students have not yet selected a major at UW-River Falls. As an exploratory student, you will be assigned an advisor who will help you select your classes, explore majors and careers, consider the experiences you want to have both inside and outside the classroom as a student at UW-River Falls, and assist you with the transition to college.

In addition to your exploratory advisor, you will have the opportunity to work with professional staff members in Career Services to take a career assessment and further explore your interests, strengths, and the many career opportunities the majors at UW-River Falls can prepare you for.

We are here to help you as well! The resources offered by the Exploratory Program and Career Services are available to ALL UW-River Falls students.

If you don’t know where to start or can’t yet identify 2-3 primary majors of interests, we recommend scheduling an appointment with Career Services to take a career assessment and meet with a professional staff member who will go over your results and help you begin to narrow down your options.

If you are deciding between 2-3 majors, we recommend meeting with Jessica Wekkin, Academic Program Manager, to create a major and career exploration plan. 

For help identifying majors of interest, we recommend completing the Major Exploration Activity.
