How did you what to major in/how to choose your major?

How did you decide on your major, or how did you choose what to study? I’m currently a prospective physics major considering a change, but I’m unsure of what direction to take. I just don’t feel the same passion for physics now as I did in high school.

  1. It’s completely normal to reconsider your major, especially as you transition into college levels of study. It might help to reflect on what drew you to physics initially. Was it the problem-solving aspect, the experiments, the scientific theories, or perhaps the broader applications of physics in technology and engineering?

    If you’re feeling uncertain about sticking with physics, think about what subjects or activities excite you now. Are there topics you find yourself gravitating toward, whether in class or outside of school? If you enjoyed the analytical or mathematical side of physics, perhaps majors like mathematics, engineering, or computer science could be a good fit. If your passion lies in understanding how things work, consider taking introductory courses in engineering or materials science.

    Additionally, reaching out to academic advisors or professors can provide valuable insight. They can help you explore different options based on your interests and skills, and might introduce you to interdisciplinary fields that combine aspects of physics with other areas you enjoy.

    Ultimately, it’s about finding something that resonates with you and excites you for the future. Don’t hesitate to explore and take a few different courses before making a decision—it’s a journey, and it’s okay to change paths!
