What is a Major and what role does it play in preparing for college?
• A major is associated with college and is a primary focus of study. A minor is your secondary focus of study. For example, you could major in Economics and minor in Spanish. It is helpful to start thinking about your career interests and goals prior to entering college. If you’re in high school, certainly by the end of your sophomore year, you will want to identify majors you are interested in that match your career goals. If you are returning to college after an absence from school, your career interests will help you determine your major and the path which you will want to take once you are enrolled. Begin to research your career interests and possible majors as soon as you can. There are many career events that TRiO can put you in touch with and Rogue Community College Counseling services can be another helpful option.
