About Exploratory Studies at UH
Exploratory Studies is a short-term entry major that intentionally integrates academic support with career counseling to allow undecided students to make informed decisions about, and prepare for, declaring a degree-seeking major. Exploratory Studies majors interact with professionals in career fields, faculty and students in majors of interest, and colleagues making similar academic and career decisions.
By University of Houston policy, all freshmen students will declare a major by the beginning of their sophomore year (30 credit hours).
Exploratory Studies is a part of the UH Undergraduate Student Success Center.
The course offered through Exploratory Studies is CORE 1101 - College Success
