A question for parents? (From Student)

<p>@megpmom‌ is right Unless you are going to a school which REQUIRES you to declare a major in any binding way (or severely limits change of major - and it sounds like you should not go to a school like that). Why decide now? Remember that most college students change their major - on average at least three times.</p>

<p>I changed majors into Computer Science after taking introductory courses and liking it - you might do the reverse or find a third major that you like even better and that has good job prospects. Until you have taken at least one or two courses in the major - no need to stress much about it. You should make sure that you go somewhere that allows you to easily change major.</p>

<p>Many schools, like Rice, don’t even want you to declare a major until later in your sophomore year (except for Music and Architecture).</p>

<p>My son in his freshman year - at least half his courses could be useful if accounting or economics or engineering or computer science so you don’t have to “waste” much your freshman year if you change your mind among these.</p>
