With seemingly endless options, choosing your college major may seem like a challenging task. But with these tips, you’ll be well on your way to choosing the right major. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflect on What Matters to You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with you: your interests, your passions, and your skills. These attributes will serve as your foundation when choosing your major. Take some time to reflect on what brings you joy. Perhaps helping people, protecting the environment, or engaging with your community is important to you. We have majors<\/a> that lend themselves to all of these interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider what particular skills you have, and more importantly, what skills and knowledge you hope to gain. College is a time for exploration and growth. Our goal at UNE is to not only educate and inform students, but help students make valuable contributions to the world around them, no matter their major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envision Beyond College<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may find it helpful to take a moment to look beyond college, and consider the years that follow. Envision where you may be employed. Perhaps you see yourself in a lab, on a boat, or in a classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envision whom you are working with. You may have a particular population of patients you hope to serve, or maybe you hope that most of your colleagues are animals rather than people. Thinking ahead to your future will help lay the groundwork for your college career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore Your Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have options. Here at UNE, we have more than 40 <\/a>undergraduate<\/a> majors<\/a>. With our flagship programs in the health and life sciences as well as robust majors in business, education, humanities and the social sciences, there are lots of options from which to choose. Take some time to explore all of the opportunities that are available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you take a closer look at majors here at UNE, you will discover what makes our programs unique<\/a>. No matter which major you choose, you will benefit from world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, research opportunities, hands-on learning, interdisciplinary engagement, global awareness and more. Your major will take you out of the classroom and out of the ordinary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
