THE CAREER COUNSELING CENTER Offering Help with “MAJOR” Decisions careercounseling.louisiana.edu

Who Visits the Center Perspective students Incoming students invited during Orientation Currently enrolled student looking to change their major Undeclared students required to come by their advisors Students who are researching what they can do with their degree

Unsure About a Major? Unsure About a Major? Research by Penn State and other institutions has shown that up to 80 percent of students entering college are unsure about their major, even if they've initially declared a major. Up to 50 percent of college students change their majors at least once before graduation, and on average, college students may change their major three times over the course of their college career.

Benefits of Career Planning (Reference: America’s Career Research Network Association- US Dept of Education.) While In College:  Fewer transfers & switching of majors  Graduate on time  More motivated & goal focused  Higher academic achievement After Graduation:  Better entry job with higher income  More satisfied with chosen career field  Less career change, faster career advancement

Absence of Career Planning is a major cause of: o Switching majors o College transfer o Dropout o Extended years in school Research by the US Department of Education and American College Testing shows: 51 % of U.S. college students entering 4 year colleges will transfer or dropout Of this 51 %: 30 % transfer to another college or change their major 20 % transfer 2X and require 6+ years to graduate 50% dropout completely

What Students Should Consider When Choosing a Major Is this major right for me---Career Testing Coursework required for this Major Type of career opportunities that this major will offer Educational level required for those career opportunities Employment outlook—National, State and Regional Average salary levels---National, State and Regional Advice from experts in the field and type of work required
