"Choose a subject you enjoy and that interests you. It will make getting through the hardest classes in your major much easier if you enjoy the material you're studying."
— Holly Cummins, L&S peer advisor, Film Studies
"Once you find something you might be interested in, take another class in that same major and stop by the department to get a little more information about the major, what it involves, and what you can do with it."
— Sarah Bequette, B.A., Political Science, History minor
"I think when students are trying to figure out what to major in it is important that they choose something they are interested in. It is not always necessary to pick a major that they plan on making a career out of, that kind of experience can always come from hands on work, such as internships and jobs."
— Kiersten Throndsen, B.A., History, Women's Studies minor
"My best advice about choosing a major is to be open minded. Many people try to choose something practical. Talk to professors. Ask them as many questions as you can think of. You may be surprised at how receptive and supportive most professors can be."
