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