Sometimes new college students choose majors for the wrong reasons: they feel pressured to make a decision; they're worried that they don't have career plans; they feel they need to select a major that will help them make a lot of money; they want to just opt for something off a list and be done with it. Most of the time, these students end up changing their major...sometimes more than once.
In University Studies, our focus is helping MSU students explore their options before declaring a major. Because our students thoughtfully select classes and consider their options, our students tend to stay in the major they eventually declare at a higher rate than those who enter MSU in a declared major
