Choosing Your Major
- Choosing your major will be one of the most important academic decisions you will make in college. For some students, choosing a major is a relatively easy decision. For others, choosing a major requires more time and thought. You will find that some investigation of your personal goals, interests, abilities, and careful consideration of alternative fields and employment opportunities will lead to a good choice for you. There are two extensive resources on campus that are of benefit to students when choosing a major: University Career Services and Career Exploration Center.
University Careers Services
- Offers services to students such as: links to career opportunities and internships, guides to what you can do with a major, assistance in resume writing and cover letters, planning a career search, preparing for an interview and networking.
Career Exploration Center
- Starting place for students who are in the process of choosing an academic major or who are clarifying their career plans. Offers personalized career counseling, career assessments and resources such as; Strong Interest Inventory (SII) and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, SIGI and a career library.
