    选择专业

    的 criteria you use to choose your major will depend on your individual interests and talents, as well as any career aspirations you may have. It is worthwhile to consider the advice of people who know you well, but your choice of a major must ultimately be determined by your own interests and goals. 在澳门新葡京官网这样的文理学院, all majors require an in-depth study that facilitates the habits of mind appropriate for any career- or life-path. 事实上, your major will prepare you for your future professional and personal life in ways other than providing specific content for a career, 包括批判性思考的能力, the rigorous and creative pursuit of inquiry, 表达清晰.

    In light of this broad purpose of the major, choosing doesn't demand that you have your entire life planned out. Before deciding, you should explore areas in which you have had little or no experience. Students often discover their passion in areas with which they were not familiar prior to college.  Such discovery may even happen after students have already declared a major in a different area.  Students are free to change their major at any time. We suggest you consider the following questions as a way of thinking through your choice of major:  

    • If you have a particular career goal, what do professionals in that field recommend?
    • In what courses have you felt the most enjoyment or satisfaction?
    • What do you, your parents and your friends think you're good at?
    • What courses have excited you or motivated you to work hard?
    • What do your academic advisor and other professors suggest?
    • If you are planning to attend graduate or professional school in a particular area, 这些项目的要求是什么?
    • 如果你正在考虑换专业, do you have sufficient time to complete the requirements for the majors you're considering?

    个性化的专业

    Students may develop their own major in consultation with the faculty. Developing an individualized major creates a course of study not normally offered by the college and allows students to construct a major within a liberal arts framework that satisfies their individual interests and career plans.

    In cooperation with at least three faculty members, students formalize the design of their major no longer than the fall semester of their junior year. 的 Interim and 学习合同 Committee must review the proposal and will recommend changes as needed for approval. 并不是所有的建议都得到批准, especially if 澳门新葡京官网 already offers a major that the committee deems will satisfy the student’s needs or if the proposed major is not consistent with the college’s mission.

    Official guidelines for individualized major proposals can be found in the 大学目录 就读课程, 个性化的专业 and through the Center for Exploration term and 学习合同.

    未成年人

    You may wish to concentrate in an area outside your major, since doing so will enhance your overall academic experience.  One way to concentrate is through an academic minor, though minors are not required by the College. It is best not to think of minors as resume builders, but as opportunities for focused study in a second area of interest.

    Information about available minors can be found on the minors index page (link to minors list in advising website) and in the 目录 就读课程, Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Majors and 未成年人.
