About 30% of college students in the United States change their major at least once, and 10% change their major more than once! In fact, more than 70 IU Columbus students declare Exploratory as their major every semester, and in a recent poll of over 100 IU Columbus undergraduates, 45% said they have changed their major at least once. On top of that, the average American will change their career path three to seven times and have 12-15 jobs in their lifetime.
In other words, it’s normal to change your mind. Changing your major can be scary, but it is also exciting. Check out the resources below to help you along your journey.
It’s totally normal to feel stressed out about this! You can access free counseling at the Schoellkopf Community Counseling Center at IU Columbus. They will work with you on career counseling as well as any anxiety, depression, and stress you may be feeling. Complete their info form here and they’ll get back with you soon!
