How to Choose my College Major

What is a college major A major is simply a specific subject that students can specialize in while aspiring to a college

degree Typically between a third and half of the courses you take in college are in your major or related to it

Step 1 Meet with a Counselor or Advisor

During your first year meet with an academic advisorcounselor regarding college majors to understand the degree and

transfer requirements Find out when students are expected to declare a major for their degree and how that process takes

place Is there a certain amount of credits your school requires before you can declare your major Are there certain

classes that become available only when yoursquove decided on that field

Step 2 Make a List

When you meet with your advisorcounselor get a list of all the colleges and university majors that are available to you

While you might have a few or more majors in mind (such as English History or Philosophy) there are probably a whole

range of subjects available at your school that you never considered Being aware of all of your options will allow you to

choose the best suitable option based on your interests and personality

Step 3 Narrow it Down

Circle the majors on your list that sound the most appealing to you Then start doing your research to narrow that list

down Your research may include

Searching httpswwwcacareerzoneorg

Taking classes in those subjects

Meeting with professors who teach your subjects of interest

Shadowing professionals in the real world

Step 4 Choose Your Major

Once you have all of the information that you need itrsquos time to weigh the factors and choose your major It should be a

subject you feel passionate about after all yoursquore going to devote the next 2-4 years of your life studying it Business may

sound like a great career choice for example but if it bore you out of your mind it may not be right for you

What are your top 3 major options and why are they a good fit for you

What is a career

Before beginning this section complete the following activity as it will help you understand the relationship

between your major and your career

A constant misconception among college students is that your major must be a linear connection with your

career For example if you major in Psychology you will become a Psychologist However the activity above

reinforces the reality that while your major will give you a high level of knowledge about a specific subject it

does not dictate your career path Your career is highly based on the things you do outside of the classroom

during your college education The internships part time jobs people that you networked with your volunteer

work in addition to your education will give you various skills and opportunities to be able to succeed in a

variety of career paths (see Clusters chart on page 7) To clarify think about the definition of a career

Donrsquot overwhelm yourself Know that career development is a process and not something that happens

overnight Career development is a process of managing life learning and work over a lifespan The circular

chart above addressed the steps of career development Many times these steps donrsquot happen in order but the

chart allows us to understand how we can manage our search for the ideal career

Instructions Review the

chart (right) and connect

the major with the career

you believe the student

went into Review the

results on page 21 after

you finish your activity

A career is a sequence and variety of occupations

(paid and unpaid) which one undertakes

throughout a lifetime More broadly lsquocareerrsquo

includes life roles leisure activities learning and

work

vs

A job is a paid position requiring specific

attributes and skills that enable a person to perform

tasks in an organization either part-time or full-

time for a short or long duration

Linear thinking can sometimes make life more complicated than it should be In this page you will learn about Career

Clusters which will help you identify your field of study and explore the many possibilities that can result from studying

one subject For instance Psychology doesnrsquot only lead to a career in Education you can pursue a career in Law

Financing Your College Education

But before you let cost discourage you from applying to the school of your dreams you should know that there

is more than $130 billion in federal aid available to students in the form of grants federal loans work-study

funds and education tax credits and deductions With help from the federal government as well as aid from

state governments private sources and merit scholarships it is possible to afford the college of your choice But

how Where do you even begin

The Basics There are two different types of financial aid mdash merit-based and need-based

Merit-Based Aid Merit-based financial aid is what many people refer to as scholarships awarded to a

student by either an individual college or outside organization without regard for financial need Students

typically receive merit-based scholarships for academic achievements though some can be awarded for

special talents leadership skills or other personal characteristics athletic scholarships also fall under this

category At many colleges every admitted student is automatically considered for the merit scholarships

at that school At other colleges students must complete a separate application

Need-Based Aid Need-based financial aid is awarded to a student on the basis of financial need The

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is generally used for determining federal state and

institutional need-based aid eligibility At private institutions a supplemental application may be

necessary
