Some students know what interests them even before they enter college. However, the rest of the student body who don t have a well-developed plan are forced to come up with an answer. You have just about finished your general studies requirements, but still don t have a clue on what major best suits your interest. Adair had doubts about his major, but decided humanities after completing his general studies requirements. He suggests for students to always think one semester ahead of themselves before they graduate.
Some students argue a major wasn t their first decision when it came to choosing a college.
Certain reasons such as athletics, the campus, and social aspects can influence students to choose a college before they look at what majors are offered. Senior James Abadi originally came to Wesleyan because of the men s soccer program. Major and career guidance is available to any Virginia Wesleyan student having questions about their major through the Career Services office. Services provided include individual counseling, workshops and programs, interest tests, externships, and internships. Assistant Director of Career Services, Karen Halman says the department would like to be able to help more students.
