How to Choose a Major (Undecided)

Are You Undecided/Undeclared?

Struggling to choose a major/minor? Ask yourself the following:

• Which courses do I find interesting and enjoy studying?
• In which courses am I most successful?
• What jobs have I had that I've enjoyed?
• What kind of work do I find fulfilling (i.e. helping others, problem solving, being creative, leading groups, working alone, being part of a team, meeting deadlines, setting my own schedule, etc.)?
