 I don’t know what major to choose!

 

That’s OK!

Most students don’t know. You’re attending college to learn, but you’re learning about yourself, too. Try some of these things to help you explore and lean!

  • Take a variety of classes to get a feel for different fields and narrow down your choices. 
  • Take advantage of all the volunteer and research opportunties available at MSU. As you have new experiences in college, you’ll probably find that your interests and preferences are changing and developing and this will help with your decision as well. Check out our page about  Getting Experience and Building Skills.
  • Another great way to get information on an area of study is to talk with someone currently working in that field. Check out the section on informational interviewing for suggestions on finding the right person to interview, plus a list of questions that will help you get the information that’s most useful to you.
  • Talk to professors, advisors, parents and fellow students about your ideas and what they have experienced.
  • A career advisor can suggest strategies to help you uncover or narrow down your ineterests. Make an appointment.
