Are you not sure what you want to study yet?
That is okay! Our goal is to help you find an area of study that is right for you! If you are not yet sure what you would like to study, check out the different options below. If you are interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) but not sure which discipline is right for you, jump to Considering STEM below.
Sometimes, we need to take a few classes to learn more about our interests and what career path(s) we would like to pursue in the future. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to begin by completing a few requirements like college English and Math. You can also take a variety of General Education courses that will introduce you to many academic disciplines and give you options for potential Academic and Career Pathways. Check out the sample course sequence below to see how you can intentionally explore your options without losing too much time or taking classes you may not need.

*English 120 is required by all students. When not considering a STEM pathway, the two main options are Math 120 (Quantitative Reasoning) or Math 160 (Elementary Statistics). Math 120 is used in pathways of Arts or Humanities, whereas Math 160 is designed more for Social & Behavioral Sciences and found as a requirement in many other pathways, including some STEM.
