That’s exciting you’re thinking about earning your degree at an online or ground campus!
Going back to school can be a great way to advance your career, learn new skills, and explore your interests. But if you’re not sure what you want to study, it can be tough to get started. The more you explore, the easier it will be to make a decision.
Here are a few tips to help you narrow down your options:
- Think about your interests. What are you passionate about? What do you enjoy learning about? Make a list of your interests and see if any of them correspond to specific academic disciplines.
- Consider your career goals. Talk to your academic advisor. They can help you explore your options to find a major that is right for you. What do you want to do after you graduate? What’s your dream job?
- Consider taking some introductory courses in different subjects. This can help you get a feel for different academic disciplines and see what you enjoy learning about.
- Talk to people who work in fields that you’re interested in. Ask them about their jobs, what they like and dislike, and what advice they would give to someone who is considering a career in their field.
- Take some career assessments. There are a number of online and in-person assessments that can help you identify your interests and skills, and match you with potential career paths.
If you’re still not sure what you want to study, don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal to feel undecided. Many people change their majors multiple times before they find the right one for them.
It’s important not to rush into making a decision. Take your time and explore your options until you find a major that you’re excited about.
Here are a few popular majors that offer good job prospects and career opportunities:
- Business administration
- Computer science
- Engineering
- Healthcare

Once you have a better understanding of your interests, goals, and skills, you will feel more confident and energized to pursue your higher education.
