Supporting Exploratory Studies Students

Parents and Families Resources

At Purdue, we understand that students are not the only ones going through the college transition - parents and families do, as well! Because of this, Purdue offers ample resources and support for the parents and families of our students from the moment you consider us as an option through graduation.

An Exploratory Studies advisor will work closely with your student to ensure they understand their major options. Our goal is to help them develop some independence and responsibility for their college experience, both academically and personally. Ultimately, though, it's your continuing support and encouragement of your Purdue student that can make the biggest difference. Check out the resources below to help your student succeed.
