What鈥檚 special about this program?
As a UST student, you will be assigned a professional advisor who will meet with you as often as you would like to help you craft an academic plan and to support your development while you explore majors. Because of the structure of the baccalaureate degree, you will often be able to choose coursework, during your first few semesters, that will fulfill requirements in more than one potential interest area to allow you to be 鈥渙n track鈥 for a number of different academic paths. 听This may not be possible with highly structured programs such as nursing, engineering, or elementary teacher education.
Get Involved
You can hold leadership positions on campus, in the dorms and in the 91原创 Community. UST students participate in study abroad, service learning, undergraduate research and internships to help them decide which major to pursue. Some unique opportunities within the UST program include:
