Once you have narrowed down your list to a few majors, consider an engagement experience that will allow you to go a little deeper to test your interest and skills and get a sense of the “academic life” of the major. Discuss ideas with your University Division academic advisor, especially those that involve taking a course.

- Join a student organization related to the major.
- Talk with classmates and students in the major about why they chose to pursue the major. Can you see yourself in what they say?
