What Can I Do With My Major
Many students want to understand the connection between their field of study and specific occupations. Though some of you will work in a profession directly related to your major, others will find jobs because you have a college degree and possess qualities and skills that employers value. It is important to remember that these skills can be developed not only through course work, but by doing internships, getting involved in campus activities and working part-time.
