Exploring Majors
The Career Engagement Center staff and your academic advisor are excellent resources as you explore majors and future employment.
Choosing a major is a decision-making process that takes time. It is important to remember that your major does not determine what your career will be. By and large, with a liberal arts education, YOU, not your major, will determine your career path. For you to be marketable to employers when you begin your job search, it is more important to have relevant experiences (such as internships) and to have developed the skills necessary to be successful in that field.
If you would like to talk with a staff member in the Career Engagement Center about choosing a major, feel free to stop by our office or email career@cornellcollege.edu to set up an appointment.
