Get Started
Students are encouraged to participate in as many major and self-exploration activities as possible during their first semesters at UCF. The more information students receive regarding their strengths, weaknesses, and interests, the greater the likelihood that they will find their “perfect match”. Students are highly encouraged to set up an appointment with their academic advisor and peer advisor to find out if they are in a “best fit” major.
Consider your stage in your major and career exploration journey by asking yourself the following questions.
What is your stage in your major and career exploration journey?
Are you undeclared or want to explore majors?
- I am completely undecided on an academic major.
- I have a list of interesting majors, but I am not ready to commit to one.
- I have a declared major but am not sure it is the right fit.

Are you undeclared or exploring majors?
At the Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center (KMETC), we understand not all students have their major or career path identified when starting college. Further, we recognize that as students become exposed to new areas of study, these paths may change.
Students can work with KMETC through two routes: the Major Exploration Program or as a Major Explorer.
Undeclared and the Major Exploration Program
Students who are officially undeclared in myUCF will complete the Major Exploration Program (MEP). MEP is designed to provide students with opportunities to participate in a variety of activities in which they are taught how to evaluate and use the results of academic and occupational assessments in selecting a major. They will receive information and guidance through individual academic advising appointments, workshops, seminars, and collaborative partnerships with other student support offices throughout the campus community.
Students in a declared major looking for major exploration can work with KMETC as a Major Explorer. Major Explorers are eligible for two appointments with our team each semester. In the one 30-minute Peer Advisor appointment and one 30-minute Advisor appointment, students are provided self-assessments and resources to help students navigate majors at UCF.
Major Exploration Program Components
Students completing the Major Exploration Program will receive personalized assistance based on their specific goals and needs. Students are provided with opportunities to participate in activities in which they are taught how to evaluate and use the results of academic and occupational assessments in selecting a major. With the assistance of their assigned KMETC academic advisor and peer advisor, students will develop a personal action plan to include scheduled appointments, attending exploration fairs and workshops, completing various self-assessments and connections with campus resources.
Initial major exploration appointments will not include course schedule planning. A separate schedule planning appointment will be arranged once students have identified areas of study.
Sample Major Exploration Timelines
Fast-Track: Completing the program in one semester, month by month.
