Majors: Choosing and Changing

If you haven’t chosen a major or decided on a different path, don't worry.  Many students are undecided about their majors when they enter college; use your freshman year and your meta-major curriculum to explore academic options, and to sample ideas and approaches from other disciplines.

Examine your academic interests by asking yourself these questions: What do I do well? What subjects did I enjoy in high school? What activities did I participate in? What do I like to read about? If you have any special skills or interests, they should be apparent from how you answer these questions. A good guide to what really interests you is what you choose to do on your own, as well as your previous experiences with part-time work, volunteer work, hobbies, sports, and travel.

If you are considering changing your major or selecting one, please visit with your academic advisor to review options.
