In Fall 2011, Missouri State University offered a Living-Learning Community to students who were coming to college undecided about a major or career path. This LLC is called the Deciding Student LLC. Students in this LLC will experience similar activities and events as the First-Year Experience LLC student but with a more directed focus to guide students in selecting a major and career. Students will enroll in a first-year foundations course (GEP 101) tailored just for them, and taught by Academic Advisors and a Career Specialist.
Students will participate in activities that help them learn more about themselves and their interests, the options for majors, how to get involved on campus, how to meet new people, and more.
