WHAT CAN THIS PATH LEAD TO?
A four-year degree can prepare students for many different careers and professional pathways. The important question is not simply: ‘What major should I choose?’ The larger question is: ‘What do I want this degree to help me do?’

Programs, majors, and specific requirements vary significantly by institution and profession. Students should verify directly whether a college offers their intended major, what specific degree a career requires, and whether graduate/professional education, specific licenses/certifications, or clinical/field experience are required for their chosen professional path.
START WITH THE CAREER. THEN LOOK AT THE DEGREE.
Does this career require a specific bachelor's degree? Are there prerequisite courses for graduate study? Does the college provide the internship and professional network needed to launch this path?
