It’s a question we’ve been asked since age 3. Choosing a general direction is hard. Add to it choosing a major, and it can feel overwhelming. It is estimated that 50 – 75% of college students change their majors. That is a big number.
Penn State Behrend has many resources to help you along your journey. In addition to visiting Exploratory & Pre-Major Advising for advice (formerly ACPC), talking with your advisor, or visiting the Exploring Majors and Careers webpage on the Behrend website, we have an outreach website where you can find dozens of podcasts and vodcasts on every major and many general topics in business and they are located on the Black School of Business’ Outreach website. The podcasts often feature Black School of Business alums, giving you an opportunity to hear directly from them about majors, career paths, and stories about what it took for them to get where they are.
We also have compiled information by major, including scheduling tips you need to know as you travel through the journey of selecting a major:
