Undecided?

Degree Audit or Progress Report: If available, bring a degree audit or progress report that shows your completed and remaining requirements. This can help in assessing how a major change might impact your graduation timeline.

Interests and Career Goals: Think about your academic interests and career aspirations, even if they are broad or uncertain. Bringing a list of potential areas of interest can help guide the conversation.

Research on Potential Majors: If you have considered some majors, bring any research or information you’ve gathered about those programs. This could include course requirements, potential career paths, and what you find appealing or challenging about each option.

Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions or concerns you have about changing your major or being undecided. These might include how the change will affect your graduation date, job prospects, or whether additional prerequisites are needed.

Ask yourself, what are your long-term goals for your education, your career, and your life more broadly?

What do you need to learn now in order to achieve those goals?

Do you need to learn those things through a major, or could you learn them through participation in Student Life activities or an internship?

General Education Requirements: Familiarize yourself with the general education requirements and bring any questions about how they apply to different majors.

Extracurricular Involvements: Consider how your extracurricular activities, internships, or volunteer experiences align with potential majors. Mentioning these during the meeting can help your advisor provide more tailored advice.

Exploration Resources: If you’ve used any career or major exploration tools (like assessments or career interest inventories), bring the results to discuss with your advisor.

A List of Pros and Cons: If you’re deciding between a few different majors, bring a list of the pros and cons you’ve identified for each. This can help the advisor understand your thought process and provide more targeted guidance.
