Here are some ways you can do that:

• Explore majors in our other Learning and Career Pathways

• Take a COUN 10 or COUN 200 class
• Attend Career Services workshops
• Talk to professors, family, friends, or even complete strangers and conduct an Informational Interview

Here are a few other things to keep in mind:

• Your choice of major will not dictate the rest of your life.
• There is a lot of flexibility between majors and careers. Many, if not most, occupations do not require a specific major.
• Most majors are not career-specific and will help you develop skills and knowledge that will be transferable to a wide range of career options.
