Many students come to college considering a variety of majors, and others begin to discover new areas of interest once they start taking classes. If you've discovered you have several majors in mind, we can help you learn how to narrow down your options.

Resources to help you with this worksheet are the online catalog, academic department websites, informational meetings with faculty or alumni, and even student organizations for groups that are associated with majors.
