Going into college, there’s one question everyone will immediately ask your student—what’s your major? The one flaw in this is that not every student knows what their major is or, quite frankly, likes their major.
When I started college, I was in a major I knew didn’t fit me. During the application process, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do for the next four years. One thing I had was that I was in a club in high school which lead me to Journalism, but I soon realized Journalism was never where I belonged. While it remains a fantastic program, my heart wasn’t in the subject. Instead, I found that I belonged elsewhere—Political Science and English.
Changing majors may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Being in a major you don’t fit or starting in the Division of General Studies has plenty of benefits. In addition, wherever your student is, their advisor is always going to help them transition into that major that does fit them best.
