Explore Your Interests

This section of our site focuses on information related to exploring your interests and passions to connect with majors and careers.

As a new college student, you may have numerous career interests, but aren't sure what to pick for a major. This is normal and common. In fact, up to 50% of students come in to college undecided and approximately 75% of students will change their major at least once.

You may wonder what a career field actually is like on a day-to-day basis, or the income potential, interests, skills and values associated with a career. Also, you may want to gain knowledge about potential openings and projected growth within a particular career track. These are all very important things to consider.
