About 'college art scholarships'|My big list of Art scholarships A plus some art advice.








In               Part               One,               we               defined               what               a               college               major               is               and               identified               some               steps               a               student               can               take               to               narrow               down               a               list               of               potential               fields               of               study.

In               this               Part               2               we               will               learn               about               some               common               pitfalls               on               the               road               to               choosing               a               major.

DON'T               let               your               parents,               friends,               or               professors               dictate               your               choice               of               major               or               place               constraints               on               your               choice               of               major.
               Parents,               friends,               and               professors               almost               always               have               useful               thoughts               and               input               that               can               be               part               of               the               student's               decision               process               about               major.

These               people               may               be               more               objective               about               your               aptitudes               and               skills               than               you               are.

Some               have               had               ample               opportunity               to               observe               you               over               a               long               period               of               time.

However,               sometimes               this               input               becomes               too               directive.

In               a               worst               case               scenario,               a               parent               makes               financial               support               for               college               depend               on               following               the               parent's               choice               of               major.
               The               most               common               form               that               this               parental               interference               takes               is               pushing               the               student               toward               a               pre-professional               major               that               leads               directly               to               a               respected               and               lucrative               job-engineer,               physician,               attorney.

Parents               naturally               want               their               children               to               have               financial               security               and               independence.

However,               parents               often               are               less               well               informed               about               the               careers               that               are               open               to               students               who               major               in               Geography,               Music,               English,               or               Russian               Studies.

A               student               with               an               intellectual               passion               for               History               who               is               forced               into               Biochemistry               by               a               parent               is               unlikely               to               be               successful               in               the               major.

When               I               see               a               transcript               that               has               "A"               grades               in               History               and               English               and               "D"               grades               in               Chemistry               and               Biology,               I               immediately               suspect               that               a               parent               has               pushed               this               student               into               an               inappropriate               major.
               DON'T               assume               that               your               college               major               must               lead               directly               to               a               specific               type               of               job.
               A               university               education               prepares               the               student               to               be               a               literate,               well-rounded,               thoughtful,               analytical               participant               in               society.

Many               of               the               skills               acquired               in               college               are               of               a               general               nature               and               can               be               applied               in               many               different               professional               settings.

The               workforce               is               full               of               people               whose               undergraduate               majors               bear               only               an               indirect               relationship               to               the               positions               they               hold.
               Further,               students               with               a               variety               of               undergraduate               majors               achieve               that               professional               focus               later               in               graduate               or               professional               school.

Philosophy               is               one               of               the               best               majors               for               pre-law               students.

An               English               major               may               decide               to               pursue               a               graduate               degree               in               communications               or               technical               writing.
               Even               students               who               pursue               the               most               pre-professional               majors,               such               as               Accounting               or               Engineering,               may               find               that               they               work               in               the               field               for               a               while               but               then               move               into               a               new               field.

The               accountant               may               want               to               become               a               financial               planner;               the               engineer               may               move               into               project               management.

They               may               need               to               come               back               to               college               for               a               second               bachelor's               degree               or               a               postgraduate               certificate               in               order               to               make               the               shift.

Therefore,               the               choice               of               undergraduate               major               is               only               one               of               the               building               blocks               in               a               long               career.
               DON'T               stay               with               a               major               when               there               is               clear               handwriting               on               the               wall               that               you               are               not               performing               well               in               the               required               courses.
               Even               if               your               parents               are               optometrists               and               you               have               always               wanted               to               follow               in               their               footsteps,               if               you               are               repeatedly               failing               all               the               prerequisite               courses               for               admission               to               optometry               school,               that               profession               is               not               a               realistic               option               for               you.

An               academic               advisor               (like               me)               or               a               career               counselor               can               help               you               step               back               and               analyze               where               your               interests               and               skills               can               take               you.

Many,               many               students               come               into               college               wanting               to               major               in               computer               science               because               they               love               computers               (especially               the               game               development               aspects)               and               yet               the               coursework               proves               to               be               very               complex,               demanding,               and               difficult.

This               is               when               they               conclude               that               they               prefer               to               be               computer               hobbyists               but               major               in               a               non-technical               field.

Similarly,               a               student               who               fails               the               audition               for               the               music               major               or               the               portfolio               review               for               the               art               major               twice               needs               to               move               in               a               different               direction.
               Sticking               with               your               original               plan               when               it               obviously               is               not               viable               is               irrational               and               it               fills               up               your               transcript               with               poor               grades               that               will               drag               down               your               grade               point               average               and               prevent               you               from               getting               into               graduate               programs,               internships,               etc.
               DON'T               feel               that               there               is               something               wrong               with               you               because               your               choice               of               major               is               not               obvious               or               if               you               change               your               major               one               or               more               times               during               your               college               years.
               Some               of               the               most               talented               and               intelligent               college               students               who               are               very               successful               after               college               struggle               with               the               choice               of               major.

In               fact,               my               university               offers               a               major               in               "Interdisciplinary               Studies"               that               is               an               opportunity               for               a               creative               student               to               design               their               own               unique               major.

This               is               an               excellent               option               for               students               whose               interests               straddle               multiple               traditional               fields.

Having               a               difficult               time               choosing               a               major               can               also               indicate               that               you               are               good               at               many               things-both               science               and               arts,               for               example.
               Occasionally,               but               only               occasionally,               a               student's               inability               to               choose               a               major               is               a               reflection               of               his               or               her               lack               of               commitment               to               pursuing               a               college               degree.

Students               who               report               to               college               because               they               are               "supposed               to"               and               not               because               they               choose               to               may               meander               through               some               general               education               courses,               but               be               unable               to               identify               a               field               for               in               depth               study.

Such               students               may               need               some               time               out               from               college               to               work               and               to               develop               a               more               focused               plan               for               the               future.
               There               is               a               lot               of               pressure               from               parents,               peers,               and               professors               to               declare               a               major               and               stick               with               it.

Many               scholarships               hinge               on               commitment               to               a               certain               academic               path.

Nonetheless,               students               need               time               to               explore               the               possibilities               and               to               test               themselves               against               the               rigors               of               potential               majors.
               Conclusion
               Choosing               a               college               major               that               is               suitable               for               you               is               part               of               planning               your               academic               program               thoughtfully               and               getting               the               most               from               the               college               experience.

Sometimes               students               fall               readily               into               a               major               that               fits               them               well.

Often,               however,               it               takes               some               research,               exploration,               and               experimentation               to               settle               into               that               major               that               feels               right.

I               hope               that               following               the               suggested               "Do's"               and               "Don'ts"               of               this               two-part               article               will               be               helpful               for               students               grappling               with               this               important               decision               right               now.
