Exploring Your
Choices ... Choosing An Arts & Sciences Major
Important Things to Remember
Before You Begin Your Journey
As a good explorer, you'll be faced with many
exciting possibilities. You need to make thoughtful and informed decisions
about what your next step will be.
There are many ways of finding the right major.
If one way doesn’t work, you can always explore another
path.
You
may not find the “perfect” major, but you will find majors
that are more interesting and personally satisfying than
others.
There are many ways to fulfill your destiny. Finding
a major requires that you reflect on your interests and
abilities, then explore and learn about available majors.
There are resources available to assist you through the exploration and
decision-making processes, as well as with planning your
overall academic life.
Choosing a major allows to plan your future, and
opens up other options. The
degree requirements are flexible enough to allow you to pursue
a double major, or a minor, or select a variety of electives
that suit your interests and long-term goals. Where does
your destiny lie?
Deciding on a major allows you to develop an
overall
educational plan that incorporates research and internship
opportunities, allows for participation in meaningful study
abroad or national student exchange programs, as well as
incorporate co-curricular and leadership activities.
Liberal Arts majors
are sought after! Selecting
a major does not mean you are choosing what you have to do for
the rest of your life.
Although the major -
career relationship does sometimes go hand-in-hand, most graduates
have developed content knowledge (specific to a major) as well
as transferable skills:
abilities, skills, and personal attributes that can be used in
a wide range of careers.
