Students who have not selected a major can schedule an appointment to visit TASP's UNDC advisors, Scott Feldman and Amanda Nimetz, but before you schedule an appointment, please first consider the following questions:

Click here to schedule an appointment!  Are there courses that could help me decide a major?Yes, our campus offers exploratory courses in various majors that you could select. Additionally, MWSU 1233 College Connections also has a career component and hones in on life skills that can help increase your skill set when you do select a major. Explore your options at MSU! What can I expect from my advising appointment?They will begin by exploring the majors you're interested in pursuing and discussing specialty vs general career pathways. They will then help you build a schedule based on classes that best suit and apply to the various degree plans you've selected. Selecting a major is an important part of the education process; however, expanding your knowledge by exploring subject areas can be a foundational piece to your liberal arts education. In an effort to help you be a good steward of your time and money, the UNDC advisor's goal is to encourage you to find your passion which will narrow your programs down, which typically happens during the first year.
