I just had this explained to me, too! Ok, a major is the actual degree, usually a 4 year degree. A minor is just a specialty. So like, you can Major in English, but minor in Shakespear. Things like that.

Business Administration is a broad major, but if you have a degree in BA and are working retail, something major is wrong.  It is a very marketable and flexible degree.  If one of the specialties within the college of business seem intetesting to you, it would be good to pick it up as a primary or secondary major.  IS is good, if you want to be technical.  I would skip HR.  Finance or accounting are both good too, but as you mentioned, they aren't very exciting.  Be creative, but stick with what you are interested in.  Many people don't even work in the area they studied as their major.

It's too late to change it, now. You'll lose to much time starting over and not to mention, money. The degree with your name on it, only matters. I was in the same situtation, before I graduated a few years ago. I changed my major in grad school.

Definitely DO NOT declare a major at this point.  You certainly don't have to, and don't let your counselor pressure you into it.  Spend some time thinking about which classes you enjoyed the most in school - then experiment in classes like it.  For example - say you liked, oh earth science.  Try some classes in geology, astronomy, anthropology, etc.  Spend some time reading through the course descriptions in the catalog - see if any of them jump out at you.  Good luck!

Don't pick a minor yet.. just be thankful you know what you want to major in already! Many college students don't know that much when they first start. (I've changed mine twice and I;m a junior!) Just take basic freshman classes and English classes.. as you start taking basic classes like History, Psych, foreign language, etc, you will find what you like best.  I am a Spanish minor and I love it, by the way~! (just an idea;-)  well good luck!! have fun at college

I have a Bachelor of Science degree. My major was Sociology and my minor was Psychology. I graduated from a state college in Missouri.

There is no "pre-med major" at either school but both have many opportunities for people interested in becoming doctors, especially since both have medical schools and hospitals that undergraduates can volunteer in.  There are also "career services" staff that can advise students about med school requirements and such.

I am finishing my minor in forensics this summer. My best advice is to not get behind in studying and take every opportunity that comes your way, ie internships and jobs, they can always help you in the future when getting ou tin the work force

5 yrs off from going off to college... like not even in high school yet? You really shouldn't be that worried at all, not yet anyway...lol If you really wanna worry I guess you can start your sophomore year, first just decide if you're gonna go into humanities or science, then you can narrow it down eventually. Remember most ppl change their majors in college a couple times and do fine. In most cases the first year in college will consist of core courses anyway, so you'll have to take most of them regardless of your major.

They are both a bachelor's degree and are therefore viewed the same. Your major determines which one you will be awarded upon graduation. History and education both fall into the arts category.

Pre-med isnt a major. They dont have a pre-med major but all you need to major in, is biology or biochem. Anything that will allow you to get your pre-requisites for med school and allow you to get a degree at the same time. A degree in biology or a double major in biology/chem will give you that. Thats all pre-med is.

As an undergrad you can have both a major and a minor - psychology and sociology will work fine for you and are available at most universities. But as you move toward a PhD you will be required to choose one or the other primarily (the point is that you are becoming more and more of a specialist in one topic). That doesn't mean you can't keep working on the subjects of both fields in your research, though.\n\nAs for preparing for med school, med school applicants can major in any and every field because med schools don't require particular majors. Many advisers say it's important for you to choose your major based on what you're interested in and good at, then supplement your major with pre-med classes. There are specific classes you have to take to be considered by med schools, but you can do them in addition to your major and minor classes. Here's a very good page on this topic:\nhttp://www.science.purdue.edu/academic_p...\n\nOther resources:\nhttp://www.cpp.umich.edu/students/health...\nhttp://www.ruf.rice.edu/~acadadv/premed2...\nhttp://www.vanderbilt.edu/admissions/pre...

If I understand correctly, you're wondering what career choices are available to a business major, right?  Well, a huge part of college is figuring out what you want to do with your degree.  As a business major, you'll have a huge variety of classes that touch on different professions.  When you find the one that you like, you'll know it.

Double major in business.  An artist is an artist only if they can SELL what they create.  A degree in business or marketing will help you do just that.  Your talent is there; no matter what kind of degree you have you will be just as talented.  Being able to SELL your abilities is what will make you a success in  your field.

With a degree in economics I have always been told it's not very useful to get a job with. It is more usesful to start a business with. Although economics is very important and in my opinion the smartest people have high understandings of economics, I have always been told to pair it with anouther major. The most useful feild to use econ in are all feilds relating to finance, but most of those position require a degree in finance. Thus I am majoring in Econ and finance with an accounting minor.

If you look at my transcript, I got A's in subjects that I liked and studied for and C's in subjects I didn't care about.  But, the exception was Economics -- I studied like hell, loved the subject, and got B's.  I thought I might major in Economics because I really liked it, but ended up minoring in it and majoring in Political Science which was much more normative (and easier to get A's in).  Economics is far more intellectually challenging than most business programs yet is more marketable than any other Social Science program.  It's a good major, but yes, it is difficult.

What you lose by having majors is the well-rounded student that has tried many things to help decide what they would like to do. That being said, choosing a major even in high school or college does not mean that you are stuck doing that one thing for the rest of your life. Life is a learning process and you should continue to stretch yourself. This sometimes means that you find new things that interest you and end up making a career change later on. That's fine. \n\nMy daughter is in high school but she has known since she was 5 what she wanted to do for a career. Even so, we have made sure that she expanded her horizons and tried many different things, just in case. My son, however, has just decided over the past 2 years what he would like to study and it has been like a light bulb went off over his head because he now has a goal and enjoys his classes whereas before he was just taking them because someone told him he had to. With his major chosen he feels he has direction which is what he needed.\n\nAs for the class-size amendment... Class size is more important in the elementary school years than in the later years. One of the reasons it was brought up was because teachers were being too stretched. The problem is that class size isn't the only thing stretching them. The administration, management and paperwork of teaching has increased so much that it drains more than extra students could except then the extra students require more paperwork (outside of grading papers) and administrative tasks so that teachers have less time to actually teach.
