Mission Statement

Exploratory Studies academic advisors at Kutztown University provide students with information about coursework, university policies and procedures, and career options and educational opportunities. The advisors and students participate in the decision-making process, to help students become lifelong learners, and encourage self-reliant problem solving through the exploration of students’ own interests and values. The mission of Exploratory Studies is to provide comprehensive services to all undeclared students as our advisors are dedicated to enhancing each student's academic and career aspirations. The department’s dedicated faculty advisors support and facilitate the undergraduate students' transition and integration into college by assisting them in the development of appropriate educational plans consistent with their academic, career, and personal goals.
