If you’re a current student looking to change your major to Exploratory Studies during the first week of the spring semester, we’ve got you covered!

We’re offering drop-in and call-in sessions from Tuesday, January 21st, through Friday, January 24th, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

  • In-Person: Visit our office in the Collaborative for Student Achievement, located on the east side of Canvas Stadium.
  • Call-In: Contact our front desk at 970-491-7095, and we’ll add your name to the list. An advisor will follow up with you.

Starting Week 2: Students interested in changing their major to Exploratory Studies will need to sign up for a Change of Major Session. Information about spring Change of Major Sessions will be posted here by Monday, January 27th.

Our Change of Major Sessions are designed to guide current CSU students through the process of transitioning to Exploratory Studies. During these sessions, students will:

 

  1. Gain a Clear Understanding of Exploratory Studies: We will provide an overview of what Exploratory Studies entails, highlighting how it supports students in discovering their academic and career paths.
  2. Declare Exploratory Studies: For students who decide that Exploratory Studies is the right fit, we will walk them through the steps to officially declare this major.
  3. Immediate Connections: Students will meet and connect with Exploratory Studies advisors, interns, and fellow students, fostering a supportive community from the outset.
  4. Leave with a Plan: By the end of the session, students will have a clear understanding of the processes within Exploratory Studies and know exactly what their next steps are, ensuring a smooth transition into the program.

If you have any questions about the change of major process, please contact Kristin Michel at Kristin.Michel@colostate.edu.
