Researching and Gathering Information
The third step in the academic exploration process is researching and gathering information.
In this step, you have a firm understanding of who you are and what major options are available to you, but you might be asking:
- What classes are required for this major?
- I'm interested in a few majors. How do I choose?
- What career options are available for these majors?
- Will these majors require math-intensive classes?
- Will these majors require writing-intensive classes?
Note: If you identify with the questions above, let your academic advisor know that, even though you may have a major declared, you're still researching before making a final decision.
