The Major Experience (TME) Mentors

TME Mentors are current UConn students from the various majors at the University. They use their own experiences to give you an idea of what it is like to be a student in their program. For example, if you are interested in sociology and want information on what the major is like, who better to contact than a current sociology major? Contact with a TME Mentor. You can also explore different majors with the following tools: Major Elimination, Major Profiles, Major Exploration Groups.
