Who Have Not Declared a Major Preference

If you have some idea of what your major area will most likely be, use the worksheet for the college of that major area. Use the worksheet below if you have not yet narrowed down your major choices.

 


HELPFUL HINTS:
 
If you cannot decide on what major area(s) interest you the most, start by eliminating areas in which you do not have a keen interest.
Choose disciplinary classes that will help you learn about areas in which you have an interest.
Consider how the disciplinary classes you try might be counted toward the Honors College general education requirement if you do not choose a major in that discipline.
Try to plan for Honors work that may include but does not rely solely on Honors Options.
 


Print out the worksheet below, fill it in, and bring the completed worksheet with you to your appointment with an Honors College staff adviser in Eustace-Cole Hall. This worksheet must be completed BEFORE you make an appointment with an Honors College adviser.
