The education exploratory program provides first-year students with the ability to explore various areas in education prior to selecting a major at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.

During the program's first year of coursework, which includes four foundational education courses, and through specific cocurricular events scheduled throughout the first and second terms, students on this track are exposed to all programs and certification areas. Students are able to make an informed decision about the grade level or area of specialization they are interested in while staying on track to graduate from any of the BAE programs.

Education exploratory is an introductory program offered prior to declaring a major. It does not lead to a degree, and students need to declare a major after completion of 30 credit hours.

NOTE: Admission into the desired major is not guaranteed. Student's must meet the progression requirements at the end of their first year.
