Choosing Your Major:

Beginning (or returning) to college is one of the most promising decisions you can make when continuing your education. And before deciding "Where" to study (as in which institution), you obviously need to have a firm understanding of "What" you are interested in studying most. - Unfortunately, there is no one, simple way to figure this out. You must rely on your own introspection as well as accurate information you receive from others. Several of these information pieces are available at your community college, high school campus, local libraries, and on the Internet. Be sure to check with those persons working in Career Services departments, as well as Guidance Counselors, for important career resources to assist you in selecting your major.
