Summary

Degree Search is an enhanced web experience that provides prospective freshmen, transfer students, and current students an opportunity to search the full breadth of majors available at the University of Arizona. The interactive major discovery platform creates the opportunity for a college exploration experience that helps students develop their Wildcat identity. Key features will include:

  • the ability to search majors by interest, location, and other criteria
  • engaging content around majors including sample courses and potential career paths
  • transfer portal that will allow students to upload courses from Arizona community colleges or universities to begin to understand how their credits might transfer

Who will this benefit?

While Degree Search is largely intended for prospective first-time freshmen, through the diverse feature set, it will also provide value to transfer students, current students looking to change majors, our community college partners, and distance learners. In the future, Trellis is exploring opportunities to support graduate programs, certificates, and minors.
