91ÊÓƵ

91ÊÓƵ graduate Emma Sherrie, '09, always had a feeling she would study anthropology, but still she took the time to check out all the other options available before finally settling on her original plan. Kent State’s Exploratory Program, which helps undecided students sample different disciplines before committing to a major, was a key part of Sherrie’s experience, and the main reason she chose 91ÊÓƵin the first place.

When 91ÊÓƵ alumna Aysia Kemp declared her major in the first semester of her sophomore year, she felt confident in her chosen path. Things didn’t start off that way, however.

Starting off as an Exploratory student gave me the freedom to try different classes and learn more about who I am as a person.

When Alex Newnes arrived at 91ÊÓƵ this fall, she wasn't sure what career path she wanted to pursue. But unlike many undecided students, Newnes saw this uncertainty not as a drawback, but as an opportunity – one that led her specifically to Kent State's Exploratory program.
