Key Insights for Students

  • Majors Drive Your Path: Majors are the backbone of your degree, dictating career options and earning potential. Choosing wisely (e.g., high-demand fields like AI, with 300% demand growth) maximizes RoEDU™ (Return on Education) by 35%.
  • Minors Add Versatility: Minors allow exploration or skill diversification (e.g., a psychology major with a marketing minor for consumer behavior roles). They’re low-risk but high-value for interdisciplinary careers.
  • Strategic Planning: 20–50% of students enter undecided, and 80% switch majors, so early exploration (e.g., via quizzes or advising) is key. Minors can be declared later to complement evolving goals.
  • Data Point: 61% of graduates would choose a different major in hindsight, but minors are less regretted due to their supplementary nature.
