- The UCCS Early Career Development Program is specifically designed to support Undecided students as they explore potential paths and find their "North Star"—a career identity that aligns with who they are. Our goal is to help guide students still deciding their major from "Undecided" to "Purposeful" by identifying their unique strengths, motivations, and values. - To help students determine the best major for their goals, students in the Early Career Development Program will be required to complete three key requirements during the Fall 2026 semester:
- Academic Advising Appointment: Start by scheduling an appointment with the Undecided academic advisor to discuss their interests and begin exploring potential majors that fit the vision for their future.
- Attend a Career Exploration Workshop: Participate in a workshop focused on identity and career development to clarify academic strengths, personality type, and work values.
- Attend the UCCS Majors Fair (College Representative Event): Attend this event to meet with representatives from our various academic colleges. This is a fantastic opportunity to get direct guidance on different majors and the career paths they lead to.
- Experiential Learning (Strongly Recommended): Participate in career interviews, job shadowing, and volunteer opportunities to help students find their "North Star"
