1-1 Customized session explicitly tailored for your student.
Why is choosing a major so difficult? Here is what college students are facing:
There are over 1500 college majors and 12000 careers
Research indicates that the “average 20-something switches jobs once every three years”
On average college, students change majors three times
Only 27% of college grads work in fields related to their majors
Most careers have multiple possible entry points.
Is there any wonder why choosing a major feels overwhelming for many students? Students who have selected their course of study closely. Students who select a course of study closely aligned with their interests get better grades and are more likely to graduate on time; and, the earlier a student selects a major, the more time there is to explore and get experience in related careers. Students will learn what majors are and aren’t, narrow possible options, and how to select a major without closing the door to likely career shifts early in their working lives. Suggestions will also be offered on how to manage possible tensions arising from students’ dreams and families’ realities.
The program consists of one session with the student, approximately 90 minutes.
