Designed for Specific Majors and Exploring Students
Some sections of UNIV 101 have been customized for specific majors or for exploring (undeclared) students, often involving professors and staff from those departments. For example:
• Business and exploring students will participate in educational planning sessions led by MCB and Major Exploration professional advising staff.
For the “Any Majors” sections, your professor will get to know you and the other students and provide specific opportunities tied to your major.
