CHOOSING A MAJOR
Most students will change their major at least once during their college years – some may change 3 or 4 times. This is not unusual as you learn more about yourself and are exposed to new areas through your coursework.
Don’t feel pressured during your first semester on-campus to make this decision – give yourself enough time to do some self-exploration.
Look at course descriptions in the catalog.
Talk to other students about courses they’re taking.
These resources have been designed to help you in this process.
Complete the DISCOVER® assessment. Once you know which career groups are your best fit, you can click on the Majors tab and find out which majors fall under that area as well.

Here are some tips, no matter where you fall in this range.
