The first step in planning your major is to decide on the areas of study that interest you most. Once you have a short list of possibilities, visit your advisor to discuss what the major entails. A visit to the career center to explore career options if you graduate with a particular major is also useful.
Most advisors have office hours posted on their doors.
You can leave a note, call and leave a voice mail message, or send an email message asking for an appointment to discuss major options and requirements. Your advisor's job is to offer suggestions and help you create a balanced set of classes for your college career. Your pre-major faculty advisor assists you in planning your course of study, counsels you about College regulations and procedures, and provides information about campus resources that support the academic program. You are encouraged to consult with other faculty as you test your interests and academic goals, trying to come to a decision about what major to choose. Once you've declared a major, you will be assigned to a faculty advisor in your major department, who will usually be your advisor for the rest of your college career.
