MAJOR AND CAREER EXPLORATION
TME is designed to help students explore majors in a holistic, interactive, and intentional manner. Using a personalized approach, students are provided with the appropriate tools and support to choose a major(s) with confidence.
TME helps students explore majors by facilitating peer-to-peer connections through TME Student Mentors, encouraging networking with faculty and staff, offering personal guidance from Academic Advisors and Career Coaches, providing access to an assortment of valuable tools, and partnering with University departments, programs, and resources.
ACADEMIC CENTER FOR EXPLORATORY STUDENTS
ACES is UConn’s advising program for students who want to explore the University’s opportunities before deciding on a field of study and for students who must complete specific requirements before applying to a major. Each student is assigned an ACES advisor with whom they will work until they officially declare a major.
The ACES advisors work in collaboration with a variety of campus resources including faculty, Counseling and Mental Health Services, and the Center for Career Development to ensure that both students and academic programs reach their full potential.
The CCD provides active career coaching assistance to UConn students on all career related issues, from choice of major to successful job placement. They support the intellectual growth of students by providing programs and experiences that promote self-awareness and engagement as they identify a course of study and pursue opportunities to become contributing members of the state, national, and world communities.
Through partnership with employers, alumni, faculty, and staff, the CCD connects students to quality career development resources, internships, experiential learning, and post-graduate opportunities.
