Where adventure meets education.
Our Degrees
It's okay to enter undecided.
Not sure what you want to major in yet? Our Exploratory Studies program allows you to stay on track to graduate in four years while giving you extra time to find your interests. As one of our most common paths, Exploratory Studies provides the flexibility and support to declare your major with confidence.

Rather than selecting a major right away, your Exploratory Studies advisor will help you choose a meta-major—a broad pathway that keeps multiple options open. After completing your meta-major courses, you’ll be ready to declare.

Learn outside the classroom.
At Western, education extends far beyond the classroom. Our small class sizes, expert faculty, and endless research and internship opportunities create an ideal environment to gain real-world experiences. Whether it’s restoring ecosystems, participating in sales competitions, or publishing creative work, you’ll gain strong professional experience to kickstart your career out of college.
