Choosing Your Major
This workshop is designed for students who are at least upper freshmen and are uncertain about their choice of a major. This is an experiential workshop, which requires students to take a vocational assessment prior to the workshop. Interpretation of the results of the assessment and information about Baruch majors, the best websites and books for exploring majors, minors and job opportunities in all fields will be covered in the workshop. The workshop lasts for an hour and a half. *You MUST register for this workshop in advance at the CDC.
Creating Your Own Major
This workshop is designed for students who are interested in combining courses from several departments, and/or across schools, into a unique and coherent major. This option is offered only through Weissman's Arts and Sciences School at Baruch and allows for custom-designing a unique major that potentially can combine business and arts and sciences courses.
Interviewing I
