UMass Boston Beacon Explorer Community

Begin your Journey by visiting the Academic Advising Center on the UMass Boston website to explore majors and get answers to questions like:

Should you try to match your major to a career?

So what’s the best major for you?

How much should the advice of others affect your decision?

What’s the “right” path to success?

University Advising Center | Exploring Majors - University of Massachusetts Boston Career specialists in the Office of Career Services and Internships, academic advisors in the University Advising Center, and faculty: each resource brings a unique perspective and valuable expertise to the discussion.

Welcome! Come explore, investigate, and discover through engaging events, networking opportunities, and support and guidance from staff, faculty, and students.

The Beacon Explorer Community is committed to providing students who are undecided, or are investigating a second major or a minor(s), with intensive academic support and intentional career guidance as they explore during their first year.
