Major Exploration

Selecting a Major

Selecting a major at the beginning of your educational journey is crucial for the timely completion of your degree. While some students are keenly aware of their career path and the major that will prepare them for their chosen field, others require assistance to make a selection and ultimately declare a major. 

The Office of Academic Advising and Student Success works closely with the Office of Career Services to provide major exploration resources and services to students.

Whether you are undeclared or interested in changing your major, following the action items below will assist you with the process of affirming a major. 

  1. Complete a career assessment with Focus 2 (New users should contact the Office of Career Services at careers@untdallas.edu for the required access code) 
  2. Log in to your Handshake account 
  3. Schedule an appointment with your career advisor in Handshake to review the results from your career assessment 
  4. Schedule a non-registration appointment with your academic advisor to discuss major options
