Change of Major Advising
What to Expect
A change of major advisor will help you explore whether a new major aligns with your interests, strengths, and long-term goals. Together, you may talk through:
- What you enjoy learning
- Your reasons for considering a new major
- Academic paths that could be a good fit
- Program requirements, timelines, and expectations
- Next steps in the change-of-major process
- Campus resources that can support your decision-making
By the end of the appointment, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of your options and a plan for moving forward.
How to Prepare
To get the most out of your conversation, take a few minutes beforehand to reflect on:
- What you like (and don’t like) about your current major
- Why you’re considering a change
- Majors or areas you’re curious about
- What you hope to get out of the meeting
- Any specific questions or concerns you want to talk through
You don’t need to have all the answers — we will help you sort through your thoughts, clarify what you want, and explore possibilities.
