What is a major?
A major is a specialized area of study within your undergraduate education. It dictates a significant portion of your coursework, allowing you to gain in-depth knowledge in a specific field. Typically, one-third to one-half of your college courses will pertain directly to your major. Your major will be published on your diploma and can make a big impact on your career path.
How do I choose a major?
Selecting a major requires introspection and research:
- Assess your interests and strengths: Reflect on subjects you enjoy and excel in.
- Explore career opportunities: Investigate potential careers associated with areas of study you’re interested in. University of Idaho's Career Services offers resources to help you align majors with career paths.
- Consult admissions advisors: Connect with an admissions counselor to understand opportunities within different majors.
What if I am undecided and don’t know what major to pick?
That’s okay! Start by exploring your options with Degree Finder. If you’re not ready to commit to a specific path, you can begin college without declaring a major and take time to try different classes, meet with advisors and use career-planning tools to narrow your interests and choose a direction with confidence.
When you apply to U of I, you’ll be asked to select a major as part of the application process — but that choice doesn’t have to be final. If you have a general sense of your interests, you can select a major that feels close to your current goals (for example, starting in electrical engineering if you’re considering engineering or a related field). If you know which college you’re drawn to but aren’t ready to choose a specific program, you can select an undecided option within that college.
Another flexible starting point is the general studies major in the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences, which allows you to explore a broad range of subjects while you discover what fits best.

This way, you can ensure your academic plan aligns with your evolving interests and career goals.
Enhance your degree with a minor or certificate

Many minors and certificates fit into your elective credits, so you can broaden your skill set without adding extra time to your degree.
Browse minor options in the catalog or explore certificate programs in Degree Finder to see how you can tailor your path.
Turn your degree into a career
Understanding how your degree translates to a career is crucial:
- Utilize career assessments: Tools like career assessments can help identify strengths and suitable career paths.
- Engage in internships: Practical experience through internships provides insight into how your major applies in real-world settings.
- Network with professionals: Connecting with alumni and professionals in your desired field can offer guidance and open opportunities.
By thoughtfully selecting and, if necessary, adjusting your major, you can effectively pave the way from academic pursuits to a fulfilling career.
