Changing Your Major

Deciding what to major in is not an easy task, but we're here to help. There are a few things to consider when deciding what to major in. First, research your choice. Talk with an advisor in the department and become familiar with the curriculum by taking a few classes to see if you would enjoy the subject’s content.

Next look at potential career opportunities related to your major choice. Talk with professionals who are currently in the field you would like to study. They can give you the inside scoop about the career and explain the day-to-day activities of the job and give you tips along the way. Career Services can help you connect with potential career choices and professionals in the work force.
