Undecided Undecided Honors Pre-majors About Explorations Since 1989, nearly 3,000 students have begun their studies at the University of Maine in Explorations (previously the ACE Program). In the early years, there had only been approximately 100 new students enrolled in the program annually. More recently, tremendous interest in the program has resulted in nearly every entering class to be larger than the previous year. It is common for students entering college to be undecided about a major or to have several areas of academic interest. Such students can apply for admission to Explorations rather than to one of the baccalaureate degree colleges at the University of Maine. Through a special first-year seminar and close contact with advisors, Students in Explorations engage in structured activities that enable them to make informed choices for a major or potential career. By the end of the first year, students generally feel more confident in identifying an academic program, which suits their abilities and intellectual or career interests. At the time of declaration of major or transfer to a college, students must meet the eligibility requirements (e.g., GPA) of the particular major or college of interest. |
