Your academic advisor can help point you in some directions for help and information. Many schools offer guidance programs which can help you decide by pointing out your strong points, aptitudes, and interests. They also administer an interactive computerized career guidance system known as SIGI which provides a self-assessment and information on career choices which match your skills and interests. The Center is located in SSC-103 in the Reynolds Student Services Center. You should begin checking on majors in engineering and computer science during your first year at UNLV and decide on your major as soon as possible.
All majors require four full years of study.
Majors in engineering and computer science have similar course requirements over the first two semesters of study. Try to include these common courses in your study plan. If you have not decided on a major after one or two semesters, you likely will not be able to avoid courses that may not be applicable to your eventual choice. On the other hand, some courses are part of a 5 or 6 semester sequence of prerequisites. Thus, it is important to decide early so you and your advisor can devise a program suitable to your career goals.
