Identify Your Criteria

Choosing a Major

Do you know what you want to major in when you get to college? You're lucky if you do because you can focus on colleges that offer your major.

If you haven't decided, or if you don't even know what a major is, don't worry: It's not too late to decide.

* What's a major?
* Why declare a major?
* Is choosing a major a life-changing decision?
* How do I choose a major?
* When do I need to declare my major?
* Can I can my mind later?
* What's a minor?
* What's a double major?

A major is a group of classes in an academic field that you wish to explore thoroughly and concentrate on the most as a college student.
