Declaring a Major
Your Time Is Now
Declaring a major comes with many benefits:
- You’ll have a clear path to graduation.
- You’ll have the added support of many different advisors, including a Faculty Advisor familiar with your major, who can connect you to employment options and transfer opportunities.
- Declaring a major is a requirement for financial aid and many scholarship opportunities.
Students can use the EMSI Career Coach to explore majors at Brightpoint, local career data, and salaries.
