It’s extremely common for students to have a broad range of interests, and to feel a bit overwhelmed about having to choose one thing to study. First year students are encouraged to take BA143, IntegratingCollege and Life Options: Know Yourself. This course is intended to generate an enhanced level of self-awareness related to integrating college and life choices, including choosing a major and career path. Students are given opportunities to take personality/career assessments, interact with a peer mentor, and understand current trends that will affect the job market.

We also encourage students to explore a number of different fields in their first few semesters, and to talk to faculty and upper-classmen in different majors. We direct students to our vast Career Library where they can browse books about areas of interest to them. Also, on our website we have included information detailing specific majors and the related career fields. Finally, academic advisors will work with students to help them choose a course of study.
