Selecting a Major

As the first step in goal setting, academic counselors work one-on-one with students in the process of selecting a major. If students are undecided about a major or wish to change majors, they can complete interest surveys in order to pinpoint their interests, values and skills. Counselors then guide students to professionals in career services and to key faculty members enabling students to investigate various career paths. Students should have a major declared by the middle of their sophomore year.
