Major Decisions: How to Pick the Path That’s Right for You
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 | 6:30 p.m. CT
Every college journey looks different, but for first-generation and new-to-U.S. students, that journey often starts with more questions than answers. How do you find the right school? What do U.S. colleges really look for? And how can you make choices that lead to the best-fit college experience?
Choosing a college major can feel like one of the biggest decisions in the college process — but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you already have a few ideas or are starting from scratch, this session will help you explore your interests, understand your options, and make choices that feel both exciting and practical.
Join Collegewise for an engaging conversation designed for high school students, parents, and counselors. Our experts will break down what really matters when choosing a major — how to connect academic subjects to future opportunities, what admissions officers consider when reviewing intended majors, and how students can keep their options open while still building a strong application narrative.
You’ll learn:
✔ How to explore interests and identify potential majors.
✔ What colleges look for when students indicate (or don’t indicate) a major.
✔ How to connect your strengths and curiosities to real academic pathways.
✔ Ways to approach undecided majors with confidence.
If your student is certain, curious, or completely unsure, this session will help them feel more confident and informed about the journey ahead.
