This transcript will discuss how to choose a major. Going through the choice of major process is part of the normal, developmental process for students.
Many students are undecided about their major when they enter college.
This is shown by the fact that approximately two-thirds of the students entering college with a stated major will change that major at least once during their first two years. It is totally normal to experience confusion about your chosen major as you begin to take courses in a particular area. In fact, we recommend you keep your options open for a semester or two until you have had an opportunity to explore the university curriculum. As you explore possibilities in several programs, it is a good idea to talk to someone at the Student Counseling Service. An early decision should be considered as a choice to be tried out, and should be considered tentative so that family and friends won't be surprised or disappointed if you decide to change your mind.
