" I don't want a degree that might get me a job that pays a lot of money; instead, I want to get a job that makes me happy. I love education and I wish I never had to leave the university, but someday I will have to leave and get a job. I want this job to be something that I love doing and that is why I changed my major from advertising to broadcasting."

There is no pressure to choose a major right away. In fact, many college students decide to switch majors, even when they are close to graduation. You have the option of being an Exploratory Major-someone who is still in the process of exploring their options. In the meantime, you will be taking core classes that are required of all students. These classes are designed to cover a large array of subjects, and they can help you to further narrow your interests.

The Career Services Center

Student Clubs and Organizations
You have the opportunity of participating in numerous student clubs and organizations. Take advantage of these wonderful opportunities; meet new people and learn new skills while embracing the college experience.

Advising
If you are sure that you have chosen the major that best suits you and your desired career, you can visit your academic advisor to declare your major. Your advisor will then provide you with a Roadmap. You can see these Roadmaps by clicking the Search Majors and Degrees link. It's a good idea to review the classes you must take for your desired major before officially declaring your major. There could be classes that are completely outside of your interests, and this may be an early alert to choose another major.
