Major Exploration @ SCSU! The importance of major exploration for ALL students. Yes, even you! Whether you’re totally undecided, confidently declared, or somewhere in between, you should explore your academic major options before committing fully to a major. Students who make the effort to explore are more likely to choose a major that aligns with their interests and are ultimately more successful in their studies and career outcomes. At Southern, our goal is to provide the resources necessary for EVERY student to make an informed and meaningful major decision. If you want to confirm your choice of major or are considering changing your major, follow the Steps to Explore Majors, a simple process that prompts you through a complete major decision process.
