Follow your curiosity.
Check the curriculum.

Start with the work you enjoy

List projects, questions, or activities that hold your attention. Think about the kind of work involved: analyzing information, creating things, solving technical problems, helping people, or organizing a team.

Compare actual degree requirements

Choose two or three related majors and read their course catalogs. Look at prerequisites, assessment methods, electives, and the time needed to complete the degree. Ask about entry requirements and whether switching majors could delay graduation.

Connect interests to careers

Research occupations rather than assuming that a major leads to one job. Explore the daily work, typical preparation, and any licensing requirements. Career statistics describe broad patterns, not a promise about your own outcome.

Try a small experiment

Attend a department information session, look at an introductory syllabus, or talk with an adviser about how students explore subjects before committing. Write down what interests you and what you still need to understand.
