The Discovery Program is the academic home for first- and second-year Pre-Major (Undeclared) students at Montclair State University. We guide and support students through major and career exploration, helping them make informed decisions while staying on track for timely degree completion.
We provide students who haven’t yet selected a major the opportunity to explore their interests and strengths, learn about the University’s wide range of academic programs, and prepare academically to enter the major of their choice. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition into a chosen major, whether you’re an incoming freshman, a new transfer student, or a continuing student exploring new directions.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your options, working toward meeting the admission requirements for a specific College or School, or considering a change in major, the Discovery Program offers the guidance, resources and opportunities you need to forge a successful path at Montclair.
