A major is a specific subject area that students specialize in.
If you specialize in something like nursing, accounting or engineering, you're learning a specific trade. Many majors, however, prepare you to enter a range of careers once you graduate. For many students, picking a college major is not the same as choosing a job. For example, a degree in English Literature might lead you to a job in publishing, teaching, advertising, public relations or law, among other fields.
The sites listed below will help you connect majors to careers. Create a list of majors and then research local colleges for similar majors.
Once you decide what major you’d like to pursue you, you will need to contact a Student Success Advisor and “declare” your degree. Student Success Advisors are available to provide information on degree plans and the classes you need to take to earn a degree as well as how to develop enrollment strategies and ways to ensure that your MCC classes will transfer to other institutions. Again all services are FREE to MCC students!
