Deciding what to major in can feel like a daunting decision; one that is not always straightforward. There’s no right answer in what major you declare. Pursue whatever it is that makes you excited for the academic journey ahead!
Choosing a major that inspires your curiosity and motivates your learning will make your academic path rewarding, meaningful, and fulfilling. Genuine interest leads to greater involvement, which in turn can lead to more opportunities both pre- and post-graduation. Remember too that specific majors don’t lead to specific places, so whatever you choose, your post-graduation options are not limited by that choice.
The Trinity Career Paths survey conducted by the Alumni Association highlights that there is not one singular path from major to career. Similarly, Pratt graduates are well prepared for full-time work and graduate study in many fields.
