Are there any research or learning opportunities associated with your major?
- Exploratory Courses for each Major
- Taking courses within different Colleges/Departments can often help students align their skills and interests with an academic major. Each College/Department has introductory courses that are well suited for exploration, which should be discussed with your Academic Advisor.
- Be advised that not all courses taken as an elective will ultimately fulfill degree requirements for the program you ultimately choose. Your Academic Advisor will assist you in mapping out an appropriate exploratory course schedule.
- Career Services is an important resource to tap into as part of your academic exploration process. Attending events and workshops highlighting careers in specific disciplines can help you narrow your focus toward major declaration. Building a relationship with Career Services early on will also help you more effectively prepare for internships and job searches as you progress through your academic career.
