There are numerous myths related to selecting a college major and starting your career. Eliminating the myths can make your decision process less stressful and help you make the decision that is right for you. Learn the truth about these common myths and get one step closer to deciding your major. 

If the amount of information is overwhelming to you, it is time to organize! Consider building a table that allows you to compare majors side-by-side. Often, this type of visual comparison can help reveal a top choice and simplify the decision process.

Consider these questions for each major:

• What interests me most about this major?
• What concerns me most?
• What are the application and graduation requirements?
• How many credits are required?
• Is a minor required?
• Is a practicum, internship or field experience offered?
• What careers interest me for this major?
• Is graduate school needed to get the job I want?
• Add any other considerations important to you
