On Choosing a Major Related Links Major Departments and Programs by Dr. David Brownlee, Professor of History of Art Choosing a major is an important decision, which will help to place you in contact with the disciplinary and interdisciplinary energy of this University and which will establish your intellectual home. It is also a difficult choice, and I won't pretend to give you definite suggestions. Like most people, I remember very well the year I chose my major. In fact, I made the decision three times. I tried first to get into my college's limited enrollment studio art program. I failed. I spent an unhappy semester as a French major (I'd only had one year of French). And then I sneaked over to the art history department, whose introductory survey I had stumbled into and which I was enjoying more than anything I had taken before. I asked the undergraduate advisor in art history if it were possible, please, for me to change my major, even at such a late date (this was December of my sophomore year!) She said I could. You can see why I hesitate to give advice. But there is a lesson to be drawn from my story: choosing a major is not an action that, by itself, will change your life. It is only one part of what should be an unceasing process of intellectual exploration. You may find yourself choosing your major several times, like I did. And even when you have settled in your major for good, you will continue to shape your education to fit your own needs. In other words, intellectual life presents an endless series of options, and fortunately, very few of the choices you will make will have irreversible consequences. Your mind can turn on a dime.

Student Home College Matching Survey Research a College Choose a Major ... MCO Partners Surprising Facts About Choosing a Major Myth #1: Most people know their college major as high school seniors. Some people go to college knowing exactly what they want, others don't have a clue. Most typically college students only have a vague idea about majors when they start. A major is your area of specialization. Your college curriculum will be comprised of core or general education classes, electives (anything goes courses), and your major—the department where you'll concentrate most of your credit hours. Myth #2: Your college major will dictate your career. Your major CAN determine your career choice. Or you may end up doing something completely different. (According to the U.S. Department of Labor, people change career fields two or three times in their lives.) For example, let's say you major in English. You might decide to teach high school, attend law school, write the great American novel, or take a job in a large corporation—or all of the above. As a biology major you could work in a lab, conduct research, apply to graduate, medical, veterinary or dental schools, or start your own computer company. Who knows? Life is flexible. Myth #3: I should choose my major first semester freshman year.

Try these links: Visits and Applications FAQ Parents Contact Us ... Carnegie Mellon Bethany Lehman on choosing a major From the time I enrolled in the seventh grade until a couple months into my college career, I was sure I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Being one of those people who cannot go outside on a clear night without taking a few minutes to appreciate the stars, I knew I wanted to become an astrophysicist. For years I read up on space facts. I even took a college astronomy class and participated in a summer research program about space. So when I left to begin my first semester at Carnegie Mellon in August 2000, my plan was to be a physics major with an astrophysics concentration. However, things did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. I realized within a few weeks of class that I didn't really enjoy my physics class. This has nothing to do with the excellent teaching staff at Carnegie Mellon - my heart just wasn't into it. I was, quite simply, just not comfortable with physics. I couldn't imagine spending the next four years, let alone the rest of my life, studying a field that was based on the subject. So in spite of my intense interest in space, I decided to switch my plans. But what would I major in now? I was stricken with panic. For the first time in years, I had lost my direction. I thoroughly enjoy playing the clarinet, and am a member of the Wind Ensemble at Carnegie Mellon. For years I have been playing competitively, but I never considered pursuing a career in music. Yet when I let my mind ponder the possibilities for the first time in several years, I realized I might enjoy being an instrumental performance major. I talked to my advisor in MCS and one of the directors of the School of Music, and took a placement test. Yet after another few weeks, I realized that music wasn't where my heart truly was, either.
