Exploratory Studies - Business Interest

Exploratory Studies is just what it sounds like: This is a place you can explore majors and their concentrations as a CSU student before declaring a major. There’s always time to explore!

About one in five students in each incoming class has not yet declared a major at CSU. Some of these students are seeking admission or have not yet be admitted to one of CSU’s competitive majors. Many other students just want time and space to explore their own academic goals before choosing a major.

Whatever the reason, all of these students are part of Exploratory Studies, which is a great place to start exploring CSU’s academics. All Exploratory Studies students are supported by staff members dedicated to helping you find the right fit for your goals and skills.

Exploratory Studies students focus on completing core curriculum requirements until they have selected a major. While Exploratory Studies students have lots of choices for classes, some classes are only for students who have chosen a particular major. For example, a civil engineering class that is is only open to students with a civil engineering major.
