Finding a major

First things first: you are not forced to keep the major you choose as a freshman. In fact, entering as "Undecided" or "Exploratory" is completely acceptable, and very common. When you do decide on your major, that does not necessarily tie you into working a specific job for the rest of your life.

There are three important steps to begin your search for a major:

1. Ask yourself, "What do I enjoy doing often?"
2. Find ways to do that often
3. Ask others who do that thing for a living how they got there

• If you don't have a thing, do more things: volunteer, make a club, join a Circle, take an elective you hadn't considered, join a college tour, attend our college events

Resources

There are lots of websites out there that will offer to find the perfect major for you. A few are listed below, but do recognize that most are businesses: they will likely give you good information, but are making money somehow. (Ads, usually, sometimes by selling your information [1]).
