Important Resources

Choosing a major is an important decision and an important aspect of your education.  There are many resources that you may utilize as you make your major decision.  Talk with an ACES Advisor and/or and Career Services Consultant.  Seek input from family, friends, faculty, and people you know who are in majors or careers that you find interesting.
