Note sull'episodio
Not sure what major to choose? In this episode, we break down everything you need to know to make the right decision.
Start With What You Like
Think about which classes you enjoy (and which ones you don’t). It’s a great way to narrow things down.
Top-Down Approach
Start by asking: What are your career goals? Then pick a major that aligns with where you want to go.
Do Your Research
Talk to professors, alumni, and professionals or shadow someone in your field
Can You Go in Undecided?
Yes! Around 1 in 5 freshmen at UC Irvine enter as Undecided.
But beware: Some competitive majors like CS or Bio can be hard to switch into later.
Do Majors Affect College Admissions?
At some schools—not really. Admissions may look at your broader college (like Engineering or Arts & Sciences), not your specific major. Don’t pick a “random” major just to get in—your application needs to back it up!
Final Tip: Think long-term. Choose something that fits your interests and future career path.
