CHOOSING A MAJOR

Abstract

In this article, the author describes how a collaborative effort among advisors produced some very useful self-help materials for students who are in the process of deciding on a major. The author states that the advising staff of the College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Pennsylvania offers its “Choosing a Major: Factors to Consider” checklist to NACADA members, who may adapt it for their own students. The advising staff invite recommendations for improving the material.
