The world is your classroom at Carroll University through our Pioneer Core general education program's Cross-Cultural Experiences.
What's most important is that you're staying active in the exploration process and making informed and meaningful decisions that are in alignment with your aspirations, talents, and values. Best practice is to meet with your Exploring advisor at least twice per semester and follow through with tasks in between appointments.
Family and friends may have experience in a particular field, but are probably not the best sources of answers to this question. Refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for current data on careers you're considering.
We have that covered! All of our Student Services team members are here to help with whatever your needs are!
Not at all! Many students start out in our Exploring Program and declare a major in their second year. As one of our students, Jeremy Beres ’20 stated, “Coming to Carroll University committed to a certain major is great. Nevertheless, exploring is equally as special. Not knowing your direction allows you to be the change. It empowers you to find new ways and new interests. Don’t be afraid, embrace the change and find your way.”
Carroll University is committed to helping students explore academic disciplines with support and advising from many faculty and staff along their journey.
More than 60 percent of students switch majors during their college career, and most still graduate on time. You can too! Use your first year to explore options while satisfying your Pioneer Core requirements. Exploring Program faculty mentors and academic advisors are here to help.
