- Are you doing poorly in your current major courses?
- Did you choose your current major without much thought?
- Do you keep reading and asking about other majors?
- Do you continue to think about changing your major?
If you identify with three or more of these questions, then it is probably time for you to make a change. Even if you identified with only one or two of these statements, it is recommended that you talk with an academic advisor or contact the Career Center to discuss your thoughts to help guide you in the decision making process.
