Take time to decide.
Haven’t decided on your major yet? Join the crowd! Most students entering college are just like you: eager—and anxious—to know which major to choose. No need to rush at Rutgers. With more than 100 majors to choose from, you’re sure to discover the one that’s right for you. For most programs, Rutgers doesn’t require students to declare a major right away. That means plenty of time to explore your options.
So go ahead, be curious. Take classes, attend first-year seminars, and talk to professors in all the majors that interest you. Your adviser can help you work it through, and Rutgers Career Services has tons of choosing-your-major resources, too. Even if you change your mind once (or twice!), relax. Your goals and passions will soon become clear.
And what if you can’t bear to choose just one major? At Rutgers, you won’t have to. Double majors, independent majors, and 100-plus minors give you so many ways to create an education that’s yours and yours alone. A double major in physics and dance with a minor in Chinese? At Rutgers, anything is possible!
