Exploring degree options at Lake Superior State University

I'm checking out Lake Superior State University and am curious about the types of degrees they offer. Do they have strong programs in science or technology? Any advice on deciding which major might be right for me?

Lake Superior State University (LSSU) indeed offers a broad range of degree options, with a strong emphasis on the sciences and technology. LSSU offers both Bachelor's and Associate's degree programs, over a variety of fields. The University is particularly well known for its programs in Natural Sciences (like Fisheries and Wildlife Management, Conservation Biology, etc) and Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical etc).

If you're leaning toward the sciences, LSSU also offers majors in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, and Environmental Science. On the technology side, you could look into the Computer Science and Robotics Engineering Technology program – they have a distinctive focus on real-world applications and applied learning, and LSSU is one of the few schools in the country to offer a degree in this field!

In terms of deciding which major might be the right fit for you, consider your interests, strengths, and career aspirations. Reflect on what subjects and topics you enjoy or excel in. If you find yourself drawn to Mathematics and have a knack for problem-solving, something like Engineering or Computer Science might be a good fit. On the other hand, if you have a passion for the outdoors, a major in the natural sciences (like Fisheries and Wildlife management) might be more up your alley, given the University's prominent location at Sault Ste. Marie, which offers many real-world learning opportunities in these fields.

Remember that it's okay not to have everything figured out right away! It can be perfectly fine to start college as an "undeclared" major. College is a time for exploration and discovery. Don't hesitate to take a variety of courses in your first year or two as you try to figure out what you're truly passionate about. In doing so, you might stumble upon a subject you love that you never would have considered otherwise. Good luck with your decision-making!
