Choosing A Major

Choosing A Major

Parents and students, chill out! Most high school seniors don't REALLY know what they will major in. Students will probably change their minds at least 5 times before they graduate from college. Many high school seniors change their minds between the time they submit their applications and the time they arrive on campus! These sites are merely meant to help guide students in the general direction of their interests. Nothing more, nothing less. Have fun playing with some of your options. BTW, don't forget the real world.
