How the Major Discovery Process Works

Step 1 — Your Interests

“Where should I even start looking?”

Short assessment that identifies your interest areas (RIASEC) or Holland Codes.
We narrow hundreds of majors into the few categories worth exploring.

Step 2 — Your Motivations (The Most Important Step)

“What type of work will I actually enjoy?”

This is where most students get it wrong. Most student drop because they loose interest and are not motivated in their major or degree area.

Two majors can sound similar but lead to completely different daily work lives.

This assessment identifies the kinds of tasks and work environments you will naturally engage in  and avoid.
