Choosing a college major is a difficult task. Some pupils have known what they want to be since they were three years old, while others are still undecided, even as college approaches. Here are some recommendations for discovering the proper degree for you, whether you are already in college or just starting to apply.

What Major Subject to Choose?

A major is a subject area in which college students focus. In college, roughly one-third to one-half of your courses will be part of or linked to your major qualification. Some universities even allow you to choose your own major!

Most four-year universities do not require you to declare a major until the conclusion of your sophomore year. This allows you to sample a few classes to see what you like before deciding and gaining general education credits toward your degree. Keep in mind that some areas and programs (such as pharmacy degrees) necessitate an early commitment to complete all required classes and graduate on time.

How to Find Your Career Path

1. What do you like?

  • List 10 things you love. Listing what you love doing, both inside or outside the classroom, is a great way to see possible paths you can take. If you enjoy art and drawing but are also interested in technology, consider majoring in graphic design. If you are into business and travelling, investigate majoring in international business.

The first thing to consider when choosing a major is what you enjoy doing. You will have enough information and experience from your coursework by the time you leave high school to figure out what you might or might not be interested in pursuing. Here are a few ways to delve deeper.

  • Make a list of strengths and weaknesses. Knowing your skills and weaknesses can help you decide which degree to pursue. If public speaking is not your thing, you might want to avoid majors that could lead to jobs as a news anchor or spokesperson. You can also use college to improve on your deficiencies. If you want to improve your public speaking skills, enroll in a speech class. You might really enjoy it!
  • Use the Roadmap to career. Explore video interviews with professionals in various industries to discover how they got to where they are today, and connect your interests to majors and careers.
