If you're a college student and still don't know what you'd like to major in, there's no need to panic. After all, it's a pretty big decision that you definitely should not rush into. The fact that nearly one-third of all undergraduates change majors at some point during their stay in school shows that it's better to take your time to ensure that you're making the right decision the first time around. Here are some tips to help you start exploring different majors.

  1. Review your school's course catalog. This is a listing of every class offered, along with a brief description of the topics covered in the class. As you read through the catalog, jot down the names of any classes that sound interesting to you. Once you're finished, check your notes to see if you've marked down a lot of classes within the same academic department. For example, if six different Sociology classes caught your eye, you might want to investigate that particular major a bit more.

  2. Take survey classes in any subjects that you wish to learn more about. Survey classes, such as Survey of Biology, Survey of Geography, and Survey of Art History, are lower-division courses that are intended to present students with a broad view of the subject being studied, without going too in-depth into a particular area. Taking these kinds of classes is a good way for you to get a better idea of what the subject is like as you try to choose a major.

    One point to keep in mind, however, is that most schools do not allow you to apply academic credits earned from a survey course towards a major in the same subject. So if you decide to major in Biology, you probably wouldn't be allowed to count a Survey of Biology class towards graduation
