Choosing a College Major Choosing a major can be one of the most difficult and important decisions a student has to make. Many students are concerned about how their choice will affect their future life. In addition, many feel pressured to make a decision before they have any idea about what majors are available to them and how graduates find employment in these fields. Students often ask themselves these questions: How do I decide what I want to do with my life? What do I like or want to do? What can I do? How can I guarantee that I get a job with this major? Students entering college who are undecided about a major have the advantage of not having to make a premature decision. They enter the exploration process where they can gather information about their interest, abilities, and values. As they go through this process, the best major for them eventually becomes clear.

Deciding what you want to major in is a big decision. Don't worry if you don't know; most college students don't know what they want to major in, or they change their mind after they start college. Think of what you DON'T want to major in and narrow it down from there. You can fill your first two semesters, maybe even three with gen-eds. If you take some gen eds that are related to what you might want to major in, you can get an idea of what it would be like before you make a commitment. Be sure that these classes will count towards your gen eds. Also, one or two classes taken just to see what they are like probably won't hurt you too much. Sit down with you college's program catalog. You may find something you didn't even know was offered!

University of Illinois at UC Choosing a Major We are quite proud of the fact that all of our departments are nationally recognized, but we also realize that having to settle on one program of study can be confusing to you. Our solution: the common program for freshmen and an outstanding system for advising students. All entering freshmen engineers take a common program of study during their first year. This means that you can change from one curriculum to another at the end of your freshman year with no loss of credit. Because there is also a great deal of similarity in the sophomore year programs, you can take as long as two years to decide exactly which curriculum is best for you and still make the change with minimum difficulty. If you think science, math, and physics are great but do not have any idea what kind of engineering would appeal to you, you'll be interested in finding out more about the various types of engineering. Each engineering student is assigned an adviser who can help get just that kind of information. Your adviser can plan course schedules with you, arrange for visits to the various departments, and answer your questions. All in all, you'll find it nice to know someone who knows most of the answers. College of Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign web version created by Justin Holder jholder@uiuc.edu
