Taking the Initiative
Congratulations as you continue your journey in your second year in the College of Business!
There are plenty of opportunities and challenges ahead. We are here to provide assistance as you make personal and academic decisions. As you move forward, remember to THINK, VALUE, COMMUNICATE, and LEAD!
Think
Do your grades reflect if your major is the right fit? Does your major fit your goals? Are you interested by what you are or will be studying in your major? If not, consider taking the following steps:
- Work with your academic advisor, who is here to provide support and accountability as you set and work towards your goals.
- Visit the Pirate Academic Success Center for free tutoring, mentoring, academic skill building, and learning communities.
- Use the Degree Explorer to find out what majors are offered at ECU.
- Know the Center for Counseling and Student Development has programs and outreach activities designed to enhance your quality of life in the areas of cognitive, emotional, social, career, and academic development.
