How do you choose a major?
Ultimately the only one who can choose the right
major for you is you! However, there are many support services
on campus which can facilitate this process. Career Services
has a variety of interest inventories and various materials
to help you pinpoint your interests and possible corresponding
career choices. Pathways
Center consultants can show you information about every
major offered at Wartburg and on occasion hosts an Exploring
Majors Fair to give exploring students an opportunity to speak
with students in the various majors on campus.
Some other other options include:
talking to faculty members in departments of classes which you
enjoy, speaking with students about their choice of major, join
clubs or organizations, visit Career
Services to explore your career goals, and take advantage
of fairs and workshops.
How do you declare a major?
A declaration
of major form is available by clicking here. Your adviser
can assist you with filling the form out and they must sign
it. If you wish to change majors and thus need a new adviser,
you may simply go to the Registrar's Office and tell them of
your plans. They will then have for advising file sent
to their office. You may either choose a different adviser or
ask that one be assigned to you. Pathways
Center consultants can assist you in every step of this
process.
