Choosing a Major

Consult with alumni about their choice of major:
You can read interviews with alumni compiled by the Career Development Office to give you a sense of what Grinnell graduates felt they gained from their major. (This site is searchable by major.)

As a student you can register with the Alumni On-line Community to look up alumni by certain majors and contact them yourself. Grinnell graduates are generally eager to talk about their experiences at Grinnell.

Talk with your adviser:
Your current academic adviser, who should know you well after several semesters, can help you think through your choice.

Talk with an academic advising counselor:
Our staff is here to help you think through your choice of major. Just call to set up an appointment to talk!
