Any advice on choosing majors at UGA?

UGA has so many majors listed! How did you decide which one to pick? I'm torn between a few different fields and could use some guidance.

Deciding on a major can indeed be challenging, given the varied options and disciplines available at the University of Georgia (UGA). Here's some advice that could potentially aid in this process:

First, give careful thought to your interests and ambitions. Which subjects did you enjoy in high school and why? If there is a field or a subject that has consistently drawn your curiosity, this is a good starting point. Also, consider your career goals, if you have any at the moment; the major you choose can influence your career path and opportunities down the line.

Second, explore the curriculum of some potential majors you find interesting. Look into the courses required for each major and what topics they cover. If certain classes excite you, that could be an indication of a major you might enjoy.

For instance, if you're considering the BBA program but also have a flair for creativity, UGA's Program in Marketing offers a BBA degree with coursework that covers consumer behavior, market research, and even advertising--which is an interesting interplay of business and creativity.

Third, think about the faculty in each department. What are their specializations and research topics? You might want to choose a major where you can collaborate with professors who share your academic interests.

Finally, utilize university resources. UGA likely has academic counselors who specialize in helping students like you make this decision. Don't hesitate to use this resource.

Though it might seem daunting, remember that you're not alone in this process. And since most programs at UGA allow you to declare or change your major by the end of sophomore year, you have some time to explore different courses before making a final decision. Don't rush, and give yourself the opportunity to understand what truly captivates you.
