4/30/2014
The University of Georgia has over 140 majors! To review your interest in these majors, begin by completing the checklist
as follows:
•
Cross through all the majors you are not interested in,
•
Mark “X” under YES if the major is one in which you are already definitely interested,
•
Mark “?” under YES if it is a major you don’t want to rule out yet, but you need more information about it before
you would be comfortable marking yes or crossing it out.

to cross our majors that no longer interest you.
• Search for career options and job titles, using the “What Can I Do with a Major In…?” handouts under the “Majors and Careers” tab
on the Career Center’s website at www.career.uga.edu.
• Research classes required for each major using the UGA Bulletin- www.bulletin.uga.edu. Click on the “Majors” tab to review required
