<p>Thank you everyone for your response.</p>
<p>Psychology and Sociology are on his list of majors he plans to look into. He shows high interest in psychology but did not like the “hundreds” of terms he had to know in his intro psy class - is it very similar in upper division courses? Sociology is trailing by very close, he claims the terms he had to remember gave him a clue as to what the definition of the word meant so he gives a slight preference to sociology over psychology. He doesn’t really show an interest in teaching so I’m not sure if he’d be open to that option.</p>
<p>He likes hands on activities and has a “serious” mindset - my parents often describe him as having almost a business-like mindset. Ironically, he has no interest in business. He likes things straightforward and structured to an extent (he’s not a huge fan of abstract concepts/ideas).</p>
<p>He chose biology as a major because of his partial interest in animals and thought it would give a wider perspective compared to zoology and animal science. Zoology and animal science are also on his list but will have to look into how difficult the core classes are in those majors. After reading the required core courses of each major, he’d choose animal science over zoology because it deals with domesticated animals over wild animals and their environment. </p>
<p>He also had history on his “so-so” list after taking two history courses this past year but after reading the course descriptions for upper level courses, he only took interest in a handful of upper level courses. A friend of mine (and a teacher at his high school) often claimed history is something along the lines of either knowing it or don’t (nothing in between). I think she means that it’s going to be easy for someone who can recall dates and times in history but S. interest in history is not to that extent.</p>
<p>He’s also considered economics (slight interest) offered through arts and sciences college (versus the “business college”) for its practicality but don’t know how practical the degree offered at his college is offered through the arts and sciences college. The degree is a B.A. and requires very little math.</p>
<p>English was also on his list but crossed it off after speaking to a few English majors. </p>
<p>Political science is also on his list, with an interest in politics, but after reading upper level courses, he felt it wasn’t narrow enough for him and was not along the lines of his interest. He often jokes, if there was an undergraduate degree in law - he would pursue that major.</p>
<p>He’s also had a few majors on his list that would lead to a job after graduating but put these majors on the list purely for that reason (a little to no interest). We’re aware that these require a ton of work and math so they are low/almost off on the list. These include: MIS, Info & Comp Sci., Comp Sci, accounting, and nursing (probably the only one he has interest in but is a “vocational major” - to our understanding, and requires a ton of work. A lot of nurses we’ve spoken to claimed that nursing was a calling from the very beginning.)</p>
<p>Any input on any of the majors mentioned above?</p>
