About


 

Welcome to the Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center (KMETC). Since 2020, we have supported undeclared and major-exploring students in navigating their academic journey. Building on that foundation, our 2025 expansion broadened our role to include enhanced outreach and training that strengthen the Academic Success Coaching community across campus.

We believe exploration works best when it’s intentional, supported, and connected.

🌟 Vision


At the Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center we strive to elevate the standard of Academic Success Coaching by empowering student exploration, advancing coaching excellence, and fostering strategic partnerships to continuously strengthen a unified ASC community.

🚀 Mission


The Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center cultivates meaningful exploration and creates opportunities for students to thrive by equipping Academic Success Coaches through intentional training and development to amplify ASC impact through strategic outreach. As a central Academic Success Coaching office, we strengthen one unified ASC community dedicated to academic achievement, personal growth, and timely degree attainment. Through a relationship-centered coaching model, we empower students and position Academic Success Coaches to lead with confidence, agency, and purpose across the academic journey.
