What if a student is thinking about changing their major? What should they do?
If a student is thinking about changing their major, they should schedule an appointment with one of our advisors to explore major options. We will probably have the student utilize self-assessments through CareerBeam or have the student take FOCUS, a self-assessment survey. Publications in our Career Resource Center and/or online provide information for various majors and career paths associated with those majors. Advisors may refer students to faculty in different departments so the student can talk with experts in their fields. Faculty can help students become aware of different career paths with a specific major.
