Tips For Using This Report

  1. MyMajors is not a perfect predictor of your best fit majors.  It should be used as a starting point to select a major of your choice.


  2. Spend time looking at MyMajors "Major Information Pages" to see what the recommended majors are all about (Careers, Classes to take, and Schools to consider).


  3. Don't reject MyMajors' recommendations for the wrong reasons. These may include:
  • Not gaining insight into the diverse range of careers that a major can lead to.
  • Not being realistic about your chances of success in a major.
  • Not distinguishing between undergraduate majors and graduate degree fields such as medicine, pharmacy, counseling, or library science.
