Major Ready Transfer

A major is a specific subject area that students specialize in. Typically, between one-third and one-half of the courses you’ll take for your bachelor's degree will be in your major or related to it. Choosing a major is critical to the transfer planning process. If you are not sure what you want to major in, here are some things to think about:

• Use this worksheet to better define what you want to major in: Major Ready Student Worksheet.
• Meet with a Counselor at �����Թ� for Career Counseling and/or Major Exploration. Schedule an appointment by calling 206.934.6409.
• Think about your academic strengths and weaknesses: What subjects come naturally to you and what subjects are challenging?  Make a list of subjects that interest you and start researching related majors.
• Discover what prerequisite classes are needed for that major.
• Do an internship to try out an industry or job.
• Complete informational interviews with people who have earned a degree in the major or have a job you would like to have in the future.
• Attend quarterly transfer fairs and visits by college representatives. Make a list of questions you have and spend time with the representative from the schools you are interested in attending.
• Check out these College Transfer Program Pathways to learn more about each area in our college transfer division at �����Թ�, what you will study, and what you can do with a career in that field.
