Choosing a major with confidence

Most students pick a major before they've taken a single college class. That choice shapes where they apply, how they're admitted, and what the next four years look like. I want them to make it with real information, and to feel sure of it.

Ten field guides
  • Engineering
  • Natural Sciences
  • Healthcare
  • Business
  • Agriculture
  • Environmental Sciences
  • Aviation
  • Communications
  • Education
  • Liberal Arts
What each guide helps a student weigh
  • How admission works for that field, since it changes which schools belong on the list
  • What the coursework involves, including how much math it takes
  • What the careers pay, from the first job to the median, and who hires graduates nationally and in Texas
  • What to take in high school, grade by grade
  • Other routes in: related majors in a different college, certificates, and when graduate school actually pays off
The Work and Careers Report. YouScience and my own interest inventory point a student toward fields worth exploring. We work through the guides that fit, and I write a Work and Careers Report your family keeps: the patterns in your student's answers, the majors worth a closer look, and what to do next.

A student who understands why a field fits them writes a stronger application and starts college with a plan.
