Making Major Decisions

COURSE INFORMATION

This course is dedicated exclusively to major exploration. It is not a class about decision making or career exploration, although those topics will be discussed. As a student in this course, you will learn how to examine majors in an interactive and intentional manner. If you are serious about exploring majors, this class is perfect for you!

To set the tone, we will spend a fair amount of time (the first 4 weeks) focusing on self exploration (values, personality, strengths, etc). This will allow you to explore majors that only apply to you and your interests/values. We will also facilitate peer-to-peer connections through TME Student Mentors, encourage networking with faculty and staff, offer personal guidance from Academic Advisors and Career Coaches, and discuss facts/myths concerning majors.

While "Making Major Decisions" does not necessarily involve a heavy workload, it will be structured and focused.

-You are undecided about a major
