The division serves all students at NC State through three integrated components: academic affairs, student affairs, and University College. NC State wants employees to achieve their highest potential at work, learn more about our employee value proposition here ( You Belong Here ). The Division of Academic and Student Affairs is the place to work for values-driven faculty and staff who are passionate about promoting the success of the whole student.

University Advising and Exploratory Studies (UAES) in the University College serves the University by providing quality, timely advising services and support to students in transition, and to advisors and faculty across campus. Students are served through in- person virtual advising, drop-in advising, workshops and other programming, course offerings, and online resources. Through comprehensive work with students, staff, and faculty, UAES facilitates student academic success, major selection, career development, and personal enrichment. The Inter-College Transfer (ICT) Program supports NC State undergraduate students seeking to change majors outside of their current college but are undecided on their future major and career goal. Re-deciding students at the University have the opportunity to visit the units drop-in advising or participate in ICT advising major selection, career development, and personal enrichment program. Students are assisted through an inquiry-guided exploration of their academic interests, skills, strengths, and aptitude to help them establish realistic academic goals and objectives.
UAES supports these students in the major and career decision process and provides ICT students an advising home until the student is able to successfully matriculate to a major. UAES also coordinates special outreach for transfer students, international students.
The Exploratory Studies program gives first time freshmen the opportunity to choose a major after a guided, structured process for major and career exploration and transition to the University. This is accomplished through one-on one academic advising, the Exploratory Studies first year curriculum, experiential learning, and programming in the Exploratory Studies Village, emphasizing theoretical and practical methods of inquiry, guided reflection, engagement, assessment, and analysis. Through this process students gain the foundation for acquiring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to make an informed decision on a major and become self-reliant and productive citizens.
