Undergraduate Advising Toolkit

Undecided Students

Students who are undecided about their major are advised at SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration) to take first year courses fulfilling college requirements for most majors in your general interest area. Advisers in the schools and colleges assist many undecided students, and the Cross-College Advising Service expressly serves the students still deciding.


Career Paths:
Keep in mind that you do not have to choose a specific academic focus in order to reach a desired career path. Multiple paths lead to the same job. Two people could pursue different majors in different schools and still attain the same job position after school. The examples below move from left to right beginning with your general interest and then leading to several possibilities for academic study. Each major ends with the same job. Please note that these are only examples; every major leads to a multitude of career paths.
