“What’s your major?” It’s an easy question for some, but for plenty of first-years and sophomores, finding the answer can be a challenge. To support those undeclared students — and those who are considering making a change — the College of Arts and Sciences is hosting a week of events designed to help bring the answer into focus.

On Monday, Oct. 27 at 10 a.m., noon, 2 and 4 p.m. a “How to Choose a Major” workshop will walk students through hands-on exercises. At 5:30 p.m., UVM seniors will share their stories in a panel discussion, “How I Chose My Major.” Each of these events will take place in the Davis Center’s Rosa Parks Room.

Throughout the week, students are invited to sit in on 100-level classes from a wide variety of disciplines. More than 100 courses are on offer — from Japanese Art to Human Health and the Environment — that will let students get a taste of the coursework within a major without having to complete the prerequisites first.

The week leads up to the university’s Majors Fair on Monday, Nov. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Davis Center.

“Our hope is that students can spend #Undeclared Week collecting insights and guidance on making their major choice,” say event organizers and College of Arts and Science staffers Eugene Korsunskiy and Dana Christiansen. The following week, students can go to the Majors Fair “with the last few clarifying questions for the faculty of their top few majors — and then be happy, comfortable and ready to declare.”
