犹豫不决? 没问题.
Don’t worry if you haven’t decided on a major: you’re in good company. Many new college students are unsure of what to major in when they begin their freshman year. For these students, choosing a major and a career path while still in high school seems impossible. 你, 像你的同龄人一样, are probably interested in a wide range of subjects, or could imagine being happy in careers that range from teaching to medicine to creative writing or beyond. Focusing your interests and choosing a major is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. 我们是来帮忙的.
Let yourself dream—and let us help you.
North Park University is a great place to explore your interests and get advising as you process your decisions. 我们的 核心课程计划 is designed to give you a taste of courses across the University, and 第一年经验 will get you involved in community life and extracurricular activities that can help you discover what you’re passionate about doing. We’ll also pair you with a 教师顾问 from day one who will walk alongside you as you process your experiences and figure out what you’d like to study.
做一个自我评估.
Deciding on a major requires some self-reflection and imagination. Here are some suggestions to get your started:
- Make a list of your skills, hobbies, dreams, and things and people that inspire you.
- Think about what motivates you.
- Think about ways you’d like to be of service to others.
- Imagine yourself doing the unimaginable: from public speaking to flying to discovering a medical breakthrough. Someone has to do it; why not you?
