Deciding what you want to major in is a big decision. Don't worry if you don't know; most college students don't know what they want to major in, or they change their mind after they start college. Think of what you DON'T want to major in and narrow it down from there. You can fill your first two semesters, maybe even three with gen-eds. If you take some gen eds that are related to what you might want to major in, you can get an idea of what it would be like before you make a commitment. Be sure that these classes will count towards your gen eds. Also, one or two classes taken just to see what they are like probably won't hurt you too much.

If you are one of those students, here are some myths about choosing a major that may help you put these questions into perspective. Myths About Choosing a Major A specific academic major exists for every career field Some career fields do require a specific credential, such as teaching or nursing, and some, such as public accounting or music, are difficult to enter without the proper background. However, most career fields do not require a specific major and most majors will allow you to excel in a number of occupations.

Otterbein graduates have become successful business managers, computer specialists, consultants, and even CEOs with degrees in English, history, and art. Your unique blend of capabilities, interests and experiences are what make you marketable, not just your academic major.
