Making the Major Decision About Your Major

Making The Major Decision About Your Major
Monday, March 24, 2008
CN Building, Room 102
TWO SESSIONS
11:00 a.m. - 11:50 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. - 12:50 p.m.

For most students, earning a degree means a better shot at survival in the working world. Deciding what to study often stems from personal interests, but "major decisions" are also driven by the job market and demographics. For other students, taking classes and earning a degree that will prepare them for the four-year college/university is a top priority! Making sure you are pursuing a “transfer-oriented” degree and that the curriculum prepares you for the four-year institution is essential. Because the transfer requirements are different for each institution, it is imperative that you become aware of the “transfer-oriented” degrees and remain focused throughout the entire process.
