A better starting point
What should I major in?
You do not need a perfect answer. You need a few promising directions and a way to test them.
Start with what pulls you in
Which kind of question sounds most like you?
Understand people
Behavior, communication, learning, culture, and communities.
Explore health and science
Living systems, prevention, care, research, and discovery.
Create and design
Visual ideas, stories, spaces, products, and experiences.
Build with technology and data
Software, systems, analysis, models, and prototypes.
Make decisions with money
Organizations, markets, customers, strategy, and risk.
Improve systems and communities
Policy, history, institutions, public life, and change.
Use three kinds of information
A strong direction sits at the intersection.
- 01Curiosity
Questions you keep returning to even when no one assigns them.
- 02Working style
The kinds of reading, making, calculating, investigating, or collaborating you enjoy.
- 03Real experience
Projects, classes, conversations, and small experiments that show what the work actually feels like.
