Choosing & Using Your Major

Only a handful of jobs require specific majors, and the vast majority of careers can be reached through countless different majors. Most college majors don't offer specific preparation for a single type of work. In a survey of UVA Arts and Sciences graduates, only 27% reported a direct connection between their undergraduate major and their current career.

What can you do to choose a major that you love? 

• Take the Focus 2 self-assessment. It’s a quick quiz that suggests majors at UVA that align with your interests.
• Identify your strengths by taking the CliftonStrengths or Strong Interest Inventory with a UVA Career Counselor. 
• Stop by 1515 for a Coffee Chat with a Career Counselor - no appointment needed.
• Talk with your UVA Association Deans, College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Advisors, and College of Arts and Sciences Directors of Undergraduate Programs about your academic path, major requirements, and choosing a major.
