SynopsisPicking a college major is a two-step process: First, you have to discover which areas of study interest you the most; then you need to find out which colleges offer those majors. The College Board Book of Majors is the only resource that helps you do both. Whether you're just beginning to look at colleges or have already enrolled, you'll find what you need to know about every major -- from accounting to zoology -- offered in every college from Maine to Hawaii. Book jacket., The College Board Book of Majors is the only guide where students can both learn about college majors and find out where they are offered. Written for high school students, it describes nearly 200 of the most popular majors in depth: how they are taught at different institutions, what courses students can expect to take, careers they may lead to, and much more. Professors teaching in the field give their perspectives: how each major is unique; what skills, attributes, and high school preparation students will need to succeed in the field; and what questions prospective students should ask about the program when visiting the campus. Articles explain how college students choose, declare, and change majors. Indexes of more than 900 fields of study show which colleges and universities in the United States have degree-granting programs in them, and at which level they're offered-from undergraduate certificates to doctoral programs. Schools that offer special options, such as student-designed majors, combined bachelor's/master's degrees, and teacher certification, are separately indexed.
