Requirements and course descriptions are listed alphabetically beginning on page 35. As you identify classes that interest you, be careful to note that some courses have prerequisites, meaning that there are other courses that must be completed prior to enrolling for that course. Also, not all courses are offered every semester. You'll receive the current course schedule when you meet with your Colloquium group on Monday, August 28. 4. If after looking through the catalog you are feeling overwhelmed or lost, don't worry.
Many students enter college undecided about what major to pursue.
Many others change their major while at college. You may also want to talk to friends or relatives who attended college to see what they majored in and how they chose their major. You may feel that you must choose an academic major or minor that will prepare you for a specific career. While some occupations require a major in a specific field, most do not. What most students will gain from a liberal arts education are the general knowledge and critical thinking skills that will allow them to perform many different roles.
