How Do I Decide on a Major?

Choosing your college major is one of the biggest academic decisions you'll make — but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it out overnight.

Whether you're entering college undecided or second-guessing your path, you're not alone. Here's how to approach your decision with clarity and confidence.

Step 1: Know Yourself First

Before looking at job titles or salaries, take inventory of:

• What subjects excite you?
• What skills come naturally to you?
• What types of tasks drain you vs. energize you?

Your interests, values, and strengths will guide your choice more than a random list of “top-paying majors.”

Step 2: Research Career Paths (But Don’t Obsess)

It helps to know where a major might lead. For example:

• A psychology major might go into counseling, HR, or research
• A computer science major could lead to software development, cybersecurity, or data analysis

Talk to professionals, shadow people in fields you’re curious about, or use career assessment tools offered by your school.

Step 3: Balance Passion with Practicality

Yes — follow your passion. But also ask:

• Are there jobs in this field?
• Do I need grad school for this major?
• Will this major support the lifestyle I want?

The goal isn’t to find a “perfect major” — it’s to find one that aligns with your goals and gives you flexibility as your interests evolve.

Step 4: Remember You Can Pivot

Choosing a major isn’t choosing a life sentence. Many students change majors (sometimes more than once), and plenty of people work in fields unrelated to their degree.

Your ability to learn, adapt, and solve problems is more important than the specific major on your diploma.

• Which one feels more exciting?
• Which career path fits your long-term vision?
• Which one plays to your strengths?
