As you explore your major decisions, keep these tips in mind:
- If you plan to apply for financial aid, you must be working toward an associate degree (AA, AS or AAS) or a vocational certificate or planning to transfer to a four-year school to earn a bachelor’s degree. Get details on the Financial Aid webpage.
- For this reason, some students will declare a general major while they explore their options.
- If you decide to change your major, we can help you navigate that process. Learn more about changing your major.
