Find your path. Be fearless.
Don’t feel pressured to pick a major before you’re ready. If you haven’t decided on a major yet or you have and you’re having second thoughts, you’re in good company. Nearly 25% of Redhawks enter freshman year without a major in mind and nearly 75% change their major at least once. You have time to decide, and we have people who can guide you through your options.
