Academic Center for Exploratory Students- The Major Experience

The Academic Center for Exploratory Students (ACES) is UConn’s academic advising program for students who want to explore the University’s opportunities before deciding on a field of study and for students who must complete specific requirements before applying to an application-based major.

In addition to academic advising, ACES is an active partner in The Major Experience (TME). This is a University-wide collaboration between ACES, the Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills, and UConn's academic schools/colleges dedicated exclusively to major and career exploration.

TME is designed to encourage the intentional exploration of majors in a holistic and interactive manner. Using a personalized approach, students are given the appropriate tools and support to choose a major(s) with confidence and, once declared, make the most of their time in that program.

Connect with one of our dedicated advising staff members for more information about The Major Experience on the Storrs Campus.
