谁可以参加?

Any student who has not yet decided on a major, 是大一或大二的学生, may participate in the 打开选项 Program. Nearly every college student explores a variety of academic avenues to make sure they like the track they are pursuing or to find something they believe is better suited to their interests and abilities. More than half of all college students change their majors before graduation.

Since it’s so common for college students to explore, we designed a program where you keep your options open, and where exploring is encouraged and supported. You start broad and narrow the search as you develop your interests, rather than guessing at something specific and then having to change your major or academic field when you discover it wasn’t what you thought it was.

Advisors assist participants as they try various classes and areas of study on for size. It’s a great way to get to sample things without being punished for being unsure of where you will land.

那么谁参与了呢?? Anyone who’s got a passion for more than one thing and isn’t quite ready to decide, or someone who is unsure of what life’s plan is, who is searching for the best way to find their dreams.
