Factors Involved in Choosing a Major:

• Am I Choosing a Major or a Career?  
  Not all life plans have a single or specific academic major that leads directly to them.
• Understanding the World of Work:
  Sometimes just knowing what is out there and available can help.
• Self Exploration:
  Understanding who we really are is a lifelong process. Having a good picture of who you are presently and where you want to go is a great tool in the decision making process.
• Decision Making:
  Not everybody has taken time to look at the components of decision making. By doing so you may be able to identify just where it is that you are stuck.
• Understanding Major Requirements:
  A close examination of the requirements of a degree may help you identify if a major is going to be congruent with your interests.
