Preconceived assumptions and myths about majors prevent students from being able to take full advantage of the college experience. This presentation will focus on elevating the student approach to major exploration by acknowledging and correcting these misconceptions and demonstrating that choosing a major isn’t quite so major. We will also explore research opportunities and how research plays a significant role as an undergraduate student.
