Choosing a major is important but it rarely determines what you will do 鈥渨ith the rest of your life.鈥

People change careers many times, so preparing for your听first听career is all you need to think about right now. Most employers look for skills and achievements, rather than a specific college major. Choosing a course of study in which you can achieve good grades and find enjoyment听is the surest road to success.

Regardless of field, all employers want听candidates听with skills in communication, teamwork, critical thinking, analysis, technology, and organization. You can develop these skills through internships, part-time jobs, campus leadership roles, volunteering, studying abroad, tutoring, researching, and coursework.

Help! I鈥檓 Undecided

Don鈥檛 worry, many students come in as undeclared majors! Over your first year or so, your decision about what to major in may spring from new self-knowledge, an interesting class or internship experience, or emerging interest in a career field.

Here are our suggestions to help you choose:

  1. Contact the听Office of Academic Services and Retentionto arrange an appointment with an听adviser.
  2. Participate in the听Internship Prep Seminar, a foundational preparation prior to an internship.
  3. Visit the听Center for Career and Professional Developmentwhere you can meet with a听career counselor to discuss your options.
  4. At your听visit to the听Career Center, request a career assessment to help in choosing a major.
  5. Familiarize yourself with what employers seek by looking at internship postings on听Handshake.
