How to Choose a Major
It helps to define a clear process for selecting a major, even
if you already seem to "know" what to major in. The average college
student today changes majors three times! Not only can that slow
you down, but it can also lead to confusion and self-doubt. We
hope you will spend the time now (instead of later) to go through
the decision-making steps outlined here. It can really help you
find a good direction in school and increase your chance of success.
