Majors & Minors
How do I choose a major? What if I am undecided about my major?
It’s generally a good idea to choose a major in a subject that you’re passionate about or interested in. It’s almost impossible to complete 40+ credits in something you hate! Don’t necessarily worry about your “marketability” with a specific major. Generally, employers are more interested in the “soft” or “transferrable” skills that you acquire just by being a college student.
If you are undecided about what to major in, we have several Open Option advisors that can assist you in identifying potential majors. They are listed here: http://www.suu.edu/uc/advisors.html. Additionally, you are encouraged to make an appointment with Career Coach Brent Jones to explore your interests, goals, strengths, and more, and make connections to the world of work. You can schedule an appointment with him here: https://sars.suu.edu/eSARS/CareerAssessment/eSARS.asp or you can call the Career Café at (435) 865-8677.
We also offer a 2-credit elective course in career development and decision-making called UNIV 1020: Career Decisions. It is offered every fall and spring semester.
