Are you unsure about your major or what your career will ultimately be?

You probably are if you're reading this! The first thing you should know is, DON'T WORRY! While it may seem that everyone else at Baruch already knows what they want to major in, it may help to know that three out of four entering undergraduate students in the rest of the United States are not certain about what they want to major in. And, 40% of undergraduate students will change their major at least once while in college. So, being unsure about your major makes you quite normal!Choosing a major may be one of the most important decisions you make in college and you should not make a "quick" or impulsive decision.

A good decision requires time to:
 
  • Gather information about majors and careers
  • Honestly assess yourself
  • Identify myths, barriers and obstacles to this process
  • Come to a satisfying decision

  • Although choosing a major can seem challenging or puzzling, it can be broken down into an orderly sequence of tasks.
