Selecting a major can be a difficult desicion. It's important to take your time selecting a major so you can consider your personal goals, your educational goals, and your career goals. If you are still deciding which major would be the best fit for you, we offer the following suggestions:

An excellent way to get a taste of our many academic programs is through the general education requirements. General education courses can help you develop a better feel for which major will be most effective in helping you accomplish your goals.
Use the general education requirements to explore areas of interest to you. Then talk with your advisor and/or instructors to find out more about the fields you enjoy.
Set up an appointment with a counselor at UM's Student Success Center and learn what assessments can help you narrow down your choices.
Your academic advisor, who assists you in schedule planning and class registration, will also help you choose a major. By working closely, you and your advisor will define your interests and choose the program that closely matches them.
