Choosing A Major

Presented by: Ms. Cathy Brinjak, Instructor in Academic Advisement

It is important for students to choose a major during their sophomore year so that they do not prolong their academic studies beyond 4-5 years. The key element to finding and declaring a major is the exploration process. This workshop will discuss the four components of the exploration process: 1) self-knowledge-exploring your interests and becoming aware of your abilities, skills and values; 2) educational knowledge-gathering information about curriculum requirements; 3) occupational knowledge-connecting your academic program to various occupations; and 4) decision-making knowledge-finalizing your decision-making process. This workshop will be helpful for sophomore students who are undecided about their major or considering changing their major.
