Welcome Letter Congratulations on taking the first steps toward making an intentional search for your major. Your time in college can be exciting – trying on different majors, enrolling in fascinating subjects, engaging in dynamic dialogue with your faculty. This is what college is all about! At the same time, some students also report a great deal of stress and anxiety around choosing a major. In this workbook, you’ll find a variety of activities and referrals to caring professionals at Loyola University Chicago. Together, these activities and resources can support your decision making.

National studies show that nearly 75% of students change their majors at least one time during college. It is okay to not know exactly what you want to be when you start college, but this question should also be something you seek to answer intentionally.

Grounded in the Jesuit paradigm of Experience, Reflection and Action, this major exploration workbook is designed to help facilitate your understanding of your interests, abilities, values and options. You will engage in a selection of activities that help you connect your passions with the world’s greatest needs. There is no one single way of reaching this decision.

Your Loyola education is one based on a liberal arts foundation – your Core curriculum, combined with requirements for your major, minor or professional school requirements, will prepare you well for a lifetime of learning. Through your coursework and experiences at Loyola, you will gain transferable skills, critical thinking, communication skills, analytical skills and an ethical awareness. Choosing the right major for you isn’t just choosing a professional career path, but instead is a way for you to compliment your overall education with a focus on a particular academic discipline.

College is a great time to explore options and learn about yourself. Even though it can be overwhelming, remember that exploring majors should be an intentional process. It will take time, thought, and effort. You must identify your interests, skills, values, and strengths as well as learn about the options Loyola has to offer. This workbook will guide you through activities and resources to help you in your college major decision making process.

Your choice of major is yours alone, so we aim to provide you with the tools and resources to make an informed, intentional decision that works best for you.

Again, congratulations on taking the first steps on your journey!

As you consider your choice of major, also consider the various curricular and co-curricular options at Loyola University Chicago. In the center of your “Field of Study” are the classes required for your major(s) and/or minor(s), your applicable College or School requirements and your choices in the Core Curriculum. Students will reach the minimum 128 credit hours by satisfying these requirements and through their remaining general electives.

Additionally, students may compliment their academic experiences with experiential learning through involvement, service learning, internships, research, jobs and cross-cultural experiences. These co-curricular experiences are great ways to apply your knowledge and learn more about yourself and your interests.

Three Phases of Exploration Phase 1: Know Yourself

Assess your goals, values, strengths, weaknesses and interests. Set realistic expectations for this process.

Phase 2: Choose a Major Intentionally research possible areas of focus to assist your achievement of your goals. Speak with faculty members in your area of interest.

Phase 3: Explore a Career Seek assistance with the Career Development Center or Career Management Services

(Business Students). Research different career options online, through texts and through in-person

informational interviews.

You may find yourself progressing through each phase sequentially, or you might find that when you face a challenge in one phase, you need to return to an earlier phase for reassessment. That is a normal part of this ongoing process.

Network of Support Who are five people you can talk to about your decision? List five individuals you consider mentors who can give you feedback on your discernment process and support you through your exploration process:

Exploring Majors Adapted from “Choosing Your Major” by Mary Lou-Taylor, www.jobweb.com

Step 1: Assess yourself Step 2: Gather information and explore options  Step 3: Evaluate and make your major decision  Step 4: Take action 

“Many factors can get in the way of your being able to make a major or career choice. Some of the most common are listed below. It is helpful to know the factors that may be affecting your major decision.”

External factors are not personal and are easier to manage than internal factors. Un-relatedness of majors and careers: Understanding

that majors and careers have developed independently of each other will help you avoid becoming stuck wondering what you can do with a particular major.

Lack of information: Often you just don’t have enough information to be comfortable making a decision. You have had very little opportunity up to this point to learn about different majors and careers. Your career center is an excellent place to begin. If you’re more independent-minded, begin researching on your own.

Too much information: This is particularly true since the advent of the World Wide Web. A huge amount of information is available, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Don’t give up: You can learn how to quickly and efficiently find good, accurate information on the web, and your career center can help.

Internal factors are more personal. Sometimes, these concerns must be addressed before the decision-making process can be completed.

Lack of self-confidence: If your choice of a major or career seems especially critical, you may not feel confident in your ability to make a good decision. Often, obtaining additional information can solve this problem. Other times, more counseling may be needed.

Fear/anxiety: While a little anxiety is positive and can help you stay on your toes, too much can wear you down. Fearing that you will make “bad” decisions can paralyze you. A career counselor can help you separate your rational from irrational fears.

Conflicting values: You may be considering paths that are not compatible with each other. Perhaps you want to earn a good salary but also want to work in the not-for-profit sector. Or perhaps you would love to work as a performer, but also need job security. Doing some values clarification work may help you here.

Conflict with others: Parents, spouses, and significant others often have definite ideas about your career choice. Desiring to please others and the need for continued financial support are two ways significant others can put undue pressure on you.

Multi-potentiality: If you have many interests and many abilities, your problem may be one of narrowing down options rather than creating them.”

6 | P a g e F i r s t a n d S e c o n d Y e a r A d v i s i n g

Choosing a college major can be a daunting process. There are often a number of options, but which one will fit best with your interests, skills, values, and career goals? If you are uncertain of these answers, you are not alone. The majority of college students will change their major at least once, and many will change their major more than once. It is okay to be undecided.

Self-Assessment: Interests, Skills, Abilities If you attend an Academic Advising workshop on exploring majors, you will conduct a short values and interests activity. Please write in your top three values and/or interests from this activity below:

1. ______________________________________________

2. ______________________________________________

3. ______________________________________________

If you received this workbook directly from your academic advisor or if you want additional information about your specific skills, interests or abilities, consider visiting the Career Development Center and signing up for a C-SAW workshop.

http://www.luc.edu/career/career_planning.shtml

C-SAW is a two-session workshop designed to help you with your decisions about majors and careers. Self-assessment inventories are used to assist you in determining your interests, values, skills and personality type. With the guidance of a career counselor, you may connect the information you have gathered about yourself to possible majors and careers.

Session One includes the results of your personality style inventory and a values assessment.

Session Two includes the results of your interest inventory, a skills assessment, and a framework for relating your results to occupations and the world of work. In addition, you will receive an introduction to career resources.

To participate in C-SAW, you must first meet with a career counselor in a walk-in or formal appointment and register.  You must complete the following inventories in advance of the first workshop date:

Strong Interpretive Report MBTI Profile - Form M

Both inventories are available online at https://online.cpp.com. Contact the Career Center if you need the username and password or if you have any problems accessing the inventories.

Myths of Choosing a Major I need to choose a career first in order to choose a major.“Since careers are related to employment, simple logic suggests that if you are attending college to obtain better employment, there should be a relationship between majors and careers. While it’s true that some majors, such as education or nursing, do relate to specific careers, most majors do not. In fact, the majority of majors will actually help prepare you for many career possibilities. Majors are designed for academic purposes rather than for career purposes. This is why the link between many majors and specific career fields is often unclear” (Taylor, jobweb.com).

I need to declare now; I am already behind, and declaring something is better than being undeclared. “No one at Loyola expects 18-year-old students to know what major or career they want to pursue. Uncertainty is the only certain thing in life. Think of your undecided status as an ‘exploratory’ status, with all the positive aspects of being open to options as you encounter them (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002). “

“Also, it is probable that you aren’t behind if you don’t know what you want to pursue until later in your college career. With some exceptions, majors at Loyola are flexible and don’t require that a student enter freshman year knowing exactly what she wants to do (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002).”

Students do have to make a decision, however. Students must declare a major by the end of their fourth semester (after Sophomore year).

Unless I choose a major in accounting, information systems, or computer science or become a doctor or lawyer, I’ll be homeless in 10 years. “If you are concerned about making a living with just any major, note that the top qualities employers are looking for in prospective employees are about skills, not content. What you want to do in college is develop marketable skills like written and oral communication, problem solving, the ability to work in groups, interpersonal communication, and sensitivity to other cultures. Loyola’s core curriculum is designed in part to foster those skills in students, and the skill-building process continues in any major” (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002).

Majoring in English (or history or sociology or Spanish…) is a waste of money because you can’t really do anything with it. “Research tells us that five years after graduation, only 40% of college graduates are working in career areas directly related to their undergraduate major. Chances are, it doesn’t really matter what you choose as your major. You should instead ask yourself ‘What skills will my undergraduate education help me develop?’” (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002).

I don’t have a choice. I’m premed so I have to major in biology. “As a prehealth advisor said recently, ‘In terms of getting into medicals school, what a student majors in doesn’t matter. What does matter is completion of the necessary premed courses, exemplary academic records, good performance on the MCAT, strong recommendation letters, and practical experience.’” If you are pre-health or pre-law, “choose your major in an area you really enjoy. If you choose an area you like, you will be motivated, you will work hard, and you will likely succeed” (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002).

Once I decide on a major everything will just fall into place for the next 40 years. “As we mentioned before, the only certain thing in life is uncertainty. The path between college graduation and retirement is not a straight line. It will bend, curve, detour, and possibly go in circles in response to changes in the world and in our personal lives. Think about it: do you want to be locked into something for the next 40 years not knowing how your chosen field will change, how your life will change, and how you will feel about those changes?” (Helkowski & Taylor-Johnson, 2002).

Short List of Majors Instructions: From the list on the previous page, write down the majors you are most interested in. Once you have your list, review the requirements of each major and rate your interest on a scale of 1-5, one being least interested and five being most interested in pursing this major. You can find out more information about each major at http://www.luc.edu/undergrad/academics_majors.shtml. Review each major department’s website and look at the course descriptions in the online catalog in LOCUS.

Informational Interviews Another option for gathering information is conducting “Informational Interviews.” This is an invaluable tool often used in career exploration. An informational interview is simply a carefully constructed conversation with someone who can share information and insight with you.

Consider scheduling an informational interview with faculty in the departments and/or Schools you are considering for a major. Other potential interview candidates may include staff and administrators around Loyola University Chicago, upper-class students and professionals who work in an industry in which you are interested. Additionally, look back to your “Network of Support” on page 5 for a list of people to interview.

The Career Development Center has a guideline on career-related informational interviews. Check it out for more information: http://www.luc.edu/career/informational.shtml.

Some questions you may consider asking: Can you describe your interest in your field? What do you like most about this field and what do you like the least? What types of courses did you find most interesting? How would you describe this major to someone who had never heard of it? What are some of the current topics in this industry? What sort of research is currently being conducted?

Certainly, consider interviewing multiple people for multiple perspectives.

Job Shadowing Many students are eager to find a major that matches up with a particular career interest. One way to learn more about a career is to conduct a job shadow. A job shadow experience is when you are able to meet with a professional who currently works in an industry of your interest and see what (s)he does on a daily basis.

After conducting an informational interview, you may want more information. Ask the people in your network of support – parents, siblings, professors, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors – if you can spend a day observing them at work. Be sure to make a great first impression from the moment you ask about job shadowing through your follow-up thank you note. Dress to impress, keep detailed and accurate notes, ask follow up questions and avoid getting in the professional’s way at work. Remember, this is his or her job and (s)he is doing you a favor.

At the end of the job shadowing experience, reflect on what you learned. What did you like? What did you dislike? What were the critical components of the job? What was the working environment? Did you prefer an office environment, retail, outdoor, etc.?

Remember to follow up with the person you shadowed by thanking them with a personalized, hand-written note sent within a few days of your job shadow experience. 17 | P a g e F i r s t a n d S e c o n d Y e a r A d v i s i n g

Course Recommendations Once you have made a decision regarding your major, schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss the specific curricular components and how your other requirements, such as the Core curriculum, can be integrated with your plan. Additionally, once your major is officially declared and updated in LOCUS, you can use your “Academic Requirements Report” to map out your course requirements.

Some departments have a recommended sequence of courses listed on the department website. Your academic advisor can help you map out your specific recommended sequence of courses. You may also want to meet with a faculty advisor (if applicable) to discuss upper-level electives.
