Perhaps you already know what career you want to have, so you can work backward to decide which major will best help you achieve your goals.

66. Staff Overview. For many students, choosing a college major is a source ofconcern that can affect their personal, academic, and social lives. http://www.und.edu/dept/sas/advising/majordeciding.htm

Overview Choosing a Major Choosing a major is one of the most important things you do at college. This section is designed to help you identify a major that will suit your abilities, interests, and goals as you complete your education and develop career plans. WHAT IS A MAJOR? The University of North Dakota has academic colleges that grant undergraduate degrees. The colleges are divided into various departments which offer majors. A major is a set of courses that exposes you to an academic area of study in depth. UND offers more than 150 majors, many with a variety of options available. Refer to the Select an Academic Department or Program. Explore UND on the World Wide Web at http://www.und.nodak.edu for more information. WHEN SHOULD I DECLARE A MAJOR? The University of North Dakota does not require students to declare a major at any particular point in their college career. Students can declare a major at any time. Declaring a major does not mean that you are formally admitted to that major. Some colleges and departments have established additional requirements for those seeking admission into their area. THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING A MAJOR You will benefit by using a process to select a major, even if you think you already know what you want to major in. Many students who began UND "knowing" what they wanted, later found they had not explored all their options carefully and had not made good choices. Many times this could cost you time and money. So, if you know what you want, or if you're finding it a challenge to narrow down your interests to a single major, or if you just aren't sure which major is for you, begin by thinking about yourself. Who are you? What are you good at? What do you like to do? Where do you want to be in ten years?

But, if you are like many students, you may not know where you will transfer or what your major will be. Several freshman-level core courses are available that will apply toward most majors. During the first semester, you should investigate your interests. By the second or third semester students should begin to develop a clear sense of which senior institution you will attend and the requirements for your chosen degree program. Working closely with a counselor or advisor, and using current information from four-year institutions, you should follow the Associate in Arts / Associate in Sciences Degree plan because many of the required courses are often required at four-year institutions. The counseling personnel at each of the DCCCD colleges can help you develop a degree plan for almost any major.

Terms such as premed or pre dental are only descriptive labels since Florida Sate University does not award any pre health degrees. Health profession schools understand the importance of applicants having a strong foundation in the natural sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics and these schools have established course requirements for admission to their programs. Usually, these science requirements represent about one-third of the credit hours needed for graduation. In truth, graduate health programs don’t care what students choose to major in because they believe the essential skills necessary in becoming a good practitioner can be obtained through a variety of academic disciplines. Students can use two criteria to help select a major: Select a major that you are interested in; something which would be a backup plan if you are not successful in getting into medical or dental school etc.

Job Search Strategies Choosing a Major Did you know... It's all right to be undecided. (Most students change majors at least once during their college career.) People change careers (not just jobs, but career fields) on an average of more than three times during their working years. Many career fields don't require a specific major, and people with specific majors don't have to use them in the ways most commonly expected. Many college majors don't offer specific preparation for a single type of work, but can enable you to become anything you want to be. Choice of major is only one factor in determining your future job prospects and career path. Electives or extra-curricular activities and leadership potential are often as important as grades or majors to a prospective employer. The relationship between college majors and career fields varies. Some fields, such as teaching and engineering, require certification or special training, but many fields do not. The world is full of pre-med lawyers, investment brokers with psychology degrees, and entrepreneurs who majored in history.
