A major is an area of study that you concentrate on while you’re in college. All students pursuing a bachelor’s degree must select a major, usually by the end of their second year.   In order to graduate with a degree in a major, you need to take a certain number of classes, depending on the college and the major.  A university/college usually offers a wide range of majors, from engineering, English, and biology, to dance, film and television, and Spanish.  A major prepares you for your future career.   It is always a good idea to major in something that interests you, since you will be taking many classes to fulfill that major.
            Some people choose to double major.  When you double major, you basically have two majors.  If the two majors have any overlapping classes, you can save time and take just one class to fulfill the requirements for both majors.
            When you enter college, it is okay to be “undeclared,” meaning that you do not have a specific major yet.  During the first of college, you can explore different fields so that you can find a major that suits you.  Even if you declare a major, you can change to another major.  In fact, many people do not stick to the first major they pick!
