University College houses two academic advising centers, the PACE Center and University College Advising Center (UCAC). The PACE Center serves first-time-in-college students with fewer than 16 college credit hours completed after high school graduation, and UCAC serves Exploratory, Exploratory Professional, and Bachelor of General Studies majors.University College Advising Center provides academic advising for students who are undecided about a major, those who are changing majors, those who are working toward admission into a particular program, and those majoring in General Studies. Advisors will assist students in researching options, evaluating alternatives, and making decisions so that they may make realistic and satisfying choices of majors. They will also provide guidance in completing general education requirements. The advising goal is to provide accessible, friendly, and accurate advising.<br><br>The Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) provides an individualized, interdisciplinary degree that allows students with a broad range of academic interests to achieve personal educational goals. The program helps each student who enters develop a unique career or academic goal that is matched by three Texas State minors. Those best suited for the B.G.S. (1) have a clear interest that overlaps the boundaries or blends the disciplinary areas of other academic majors available at Texas State, (2) have invested in a traditional degree program but wish to redirect their career or academic goals while building on some of the courses already completed, or (3) have difficulty choosing an existing major and are willing to assemble three minors based on organized career research and preparation.
