College is a time for self-reflection and professional exploration. Naturally during this time, interests and career goals can shift and change. Does this mean it is time to consider a change in major? The National Center for Education Statistics reports roughly 30% of students in bachelor’s or associate degrees change their majors within three years of study. Yet, an abrupt change in educational plans should not be taken likely, so be sure to take the time to figure out if this course correction makes sense for you.
