When is the optimum time to declare a major?

How do you know that you're not rushing into anything and might end up picking something that you'll regret later? Is it really that big a deal for you to change your major and spend a little extra time in college? I feel like it's possible to not get your major choice completely right the first time around.

Hello Mariam,


There is no optimum time per se, but you do want to try to make a decision as early as possible to avoid taking unneeded classes, which will save you both time and money. Usually the first two years of college are pretty similar for all majors, but after that you really have to choose a major.


It's not a big deal to change majors later, as long as you are OK with spending more time and money on college.

As soon as you are sure you're in the right field for your abilities make your intention known. This will help save you wasted time in areas you won't need. If you're still exploring you might call out your potential minor(s), but remember when you're in college you're putting a lot of money on the table. Do your best to figure out your path early.
