What to expect and how to get started

DISCOVERY will help you find your direction to an amazing university experience, an on-time graduation, and a future career field that will be fulfilling and rewarding. DISCOVERY consists mainly of two workshops (Academic Physical and Major Map) but it also describes the process the University Advising office uses to help guide students to make informed decisions about their future. Make sure to register for a workshop to ensure that you can take advantage of this great opportunity.

Academic Physical

In conjunction with the Learning Center, the Academic Physical workshops are designed to help you:

• Determine your learning style, learn how to manage it, and begin to take action
• Understand how to learn in a classroom where your preferred learning style is different from the instructor's style of teaching
• Design your action plan for success

DISCOVERY Major Map

Choosing a major is a big decision, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. DISCOVERY! helps you find your direction by examining your values, skills, interests, and abilities. Once you have identified your direction, you will be ready to determine which academic majors are the best fit for you. Through a deliberate study of yourself and one to one meetings with an academic advisor, you will narrow the range of academic alternatives and be equipped to choose a compatible career.

A few aspects of Major Map include:

• Taking the FOCUS Assessment
• Going over the results of your assessment in a group setting
• Completing a Values Assessment
• Doing independent research on career options and majors

After you complete the Major Map workshop you will have the opportunity to debrief your results one-on-one with an academic advisor. The goal of this process is to ensure that you can make an informed decision about what major to pursue here at TTU.
