Why an Undecided Major isn’t So Bad: High Point University

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

My College Guide knows that choosing your college major ranks up there as one of the top stressors just below choosing a college and financial aid! We’ve said it over and over: an undecided major is not a bad thing. In fact, it may help you find a new interest or passion that you didn’t even know you had!

Don’t just take our word for it! Check out this great video from High Point University. Hear the Chair of the English Department, Dr. Matthew Schneider, at High Point University make some very good points about why an undecided major is nothing to fear! Watch Undecided? by High Point University on YouTube or below.

Feel better? Not choosing a major doesn’t automatically mean you will take seven years to finish college! Read about this college myth and more right here on My College Guide.

Who We Are: Information you can trust. For 20 years My College Guide has produced an annual magazine chock full of free college info for high-achieving high school sophomores. Check out our participating colleges.
