Finding a College Major
Used with this transition category:
Interests/Preferences are measured by the individual's reaction to a series of statements with visuals that depict actual job activities.
The individual has the option to select any (or all) of the 5 Major Fields;
- Social Science & Humanities
- Business & Economics
- Arts and Communications
- Science & Technology
- Engineering
For each field, there are 10 to 12 majors. In addition, there is a General Placement test for those individuals who are unsure where their interests lie.
The CoMIT results screen shows all the potential majors ranked according to the individual's preferences. Additional information is available about each major, including an overview, job & labor market information, required activities, tasks, skills, knowledge, abilities, work environment, career videos, plus much more.
In additional, there are other links leading to over 3,000 colleges including student aid information plus many additional resources that are all part of the college planning process. Approximate completion time is 25 minutes per assessment. Exploration time varies by the individual.
