The Explore Team continued the work started in 2018-2019 to map all degrees with GE courses, milestones, and student supports that can be used as a default or baseline map for students. In 2019-2020, the Team completed the program maps for all programs and built out the maps to include non-credit courses and programs that can be used as onramps or supports for students into and in credit programs. The Explore Team lead the work to continue to clarify and develop the career clusters to support student exploration and decision-making.
