True North has been described as “your inner sense, or your calling, of what you want to accomplish in your life. It's a combination of your values, your beliefs, and your purpose.” At True Blue, we aim to help students discover their True North by exploring dozens of majors and programs from our four schools: Business, Liberal Arts & Sciences, Education, Behavioral Health & Human Services.
