AN ADVISOR’S ADVICE ON

CHOOSING YOUR MAJOR

BY KYLE CLARK The George-Anne staff

Students often have many questions when trying to choose their major. The process can seem confusing or daunting at times. More often than not, a student’s advisor can help answer questions.

Academic advisor Megan Bowen spoke with The George-Anne and discussed some of the important information in choosing a major.

What is, in your opinion, the most important part of choosing a major?

“Being invested in it.

There are lots of different majors that can get you to the same career, so what matters is really the work you are willing to put in.

Two people can get the

same degree and come out of it with vastly different skills just based on what they put in. The piece of paper matters but the skills you gain matter even more. You get more out when you are interested and motivated and you are willing to put more in.”

What resources are available on campus for students who are uncertain towards their major?

“The Major & Career Exploration Center in the Williams Center is a big first stop. Your advisor and the advisor for the major you are interested in can also help. Also, the faculty.

If you take a class and you love it and you're curious about majoring in that subject, ask your professor about it.”

What's one misconception about declaring a major, advisors, or anything relating to your job you wish you could clear up with students?

“As an advisor, I work for my students and their best interests. I just want to help them all find the program that's the best fit for them.

If you decide to change your major and it puts you where you want to be, then that's great! Don't be scared to see your advisor with questions if you aren't sure about your major.”

What can students do if they feel they are unhappy with their current major?

“Talk to your advisor!

And all of the things I said in the previous answer. Ask questions of your advisor,

your professors, and yourself. Figure out why you are unhappy. Is it about career options or how difficult the classes are or is it about not being interested in the material. All of these are valid concerns but they might lead you in different directions for the answer.”

When should a student feel like they need to declare their major?

“Logistically speaking, finishing all of your CORE before you enter a major can make the transition difficult in some majors, so having a major declared by sophomore year is probably a good bet in most cases.

However, some majors take 4 years to complete no matter when you declare because of sequencing and course rotations, so sooner is better in all cases.”

The search for is one every student must go through. Students need to make use of the resources available to them to make the search and decision as easy as possible.

Bowen ended with some advice for students still searching.

“Go to events in the departments you are interested in. Meet the faculty. Talk to other students in the major Check in with the advisor to find out which courses you would be taking,” Bowen said, “But most of all, pick something you care about. It doesn't have to be the thing you are best at. You can learn That's what college is for. Just pick something you care about and that you are willing to devote the time to do well in.”

“At first my dad was like, ‘You’re good at math, so why don’t you check out electrical engineering?’ So I decided to look into, saw the different job opportunities and saw that it pays extremely well, and after going to a few summer camps I realized I actually liked it. So with money being a big factor, I decided this was the major for me.”

GeorgiaSouthern.edu/parker/finance

“With logistics being a degree that has a lot of job opportunities while also being one of the fastest growing areas of business, I felt this was a good major for me because I would be able to have a list of jobs to pick from rather than just chasing after one job like a lot of other degrees.”

“I mean I like to help people so it’s like kinda my thing. I want to be an art therapist.

And I draw and paint. So I want to incorporate that into helping people.”

“I am a sociology major with an emphasis on social services. And I decided to pick that major because I really wanted to work with people. I found that like working with people, helping people, serving people, and I want to specifically go into social services to help with families, counsel, just kind of be an aid to the public.”

“I actually chose it because my grandmother was an English major and I wanted to carry on the tradition. My senior year English teacher … worked in a really rough school district ... and she worked with those kids that a lot of people gave up on. … And that just kind of pushed me in that direction to make an impact that way.”

“I just really like chemistry, man.

You know, it’s just something that really interests me, so it’s just something that I thought would be a good major for me. I want to be a pharmaceutical engineer, so design drugs, the legal kind of course, and make medicine for a large company.”

Second fall minimester to start Oct. 14

Political Science and International Studies The fundamental mission of the Department of Political Science is to prepare our students for their future roles as active and responsible citizens, a goal which is primarily accomplished through our emphasis on excellent teaching.

• Political Science • International Studies • International Trade

BY KYLE CLARK The George-Anne staff

Courses for the second fall minimester will start Oct. 14.

The minimester is a seven week period where students can take shorter versions of classes for credit. Courses are offered both on campus and online.

These courses count for full credits and ask for less of a time investment than the 15 week full semester courses.

Students interested in taking minimester courses can use the class search tool and search for courses under Fall 2019 Term B. According to the GS website, more courses will be added so students are urged to check frequently.

This is the second of the minimesters offered this semester, the first of which started Aug. 19 and ends on Oct. 11.

Students should speak with their advisor if they are uncertain of which minimester courses would work best for them.

“I knew I always wanted to do business. I did a lot of research, and marketing was the most well rounded business topic you could have.

So I started with that. I want to start out doing market research, or being a market research analyst. Either that or sales. I feel like market research would lead me into sales. Then I want to start my own business.”

“From freshman year, I always knew that I wanted to do something international studies related, but I was actually a pre-med bio major before, and after struggling and complaining to my parents for three semesters, I was like ‘yeah, no, I’m going to do what I want to do now,’ and here I am.”

I chose international affairs because I’ve always wanted to work and live abroad.

I enjoy learning about international politics, religion, and culture.

I was taking Spanish before college so I decided to minor in that as well.”
