Exploring Your Options

The second step in the academic exploration process is exploring options. In this step, you’ve started to understand who you are, what subjects you enjoy, and what you value, but you need to spend some time learning what options are available to you at Texas State.

Just know upfront, we offer nearly 100 majors at Texas State, and you’ve got a lot of exciting ground to cover! As you’re exploring your options, you might be wondering;

  • What major options are available to me?
  • What major options does Texas State University offer?

Note: If you're asking questions like these, let your academic advisor know that, even though you may have a major declared, you're still wanting to learn more about your options.

What resources can help you navigate Step Two?
