For Educators: Military Resources
Areas of Study
Choosing an area of study (“declaring a major”) is an important part of determining how your education will influence work opportunities available after graduation. Here we’ll talk about some popular college majors and their general requirements.
List of Areas of Study
Agriculture and Natural Resources
Forget the overalls and straw hats, today’s farmers need to understand tools like GPS, automation and even drones (you can still wear hats and overalls if you want, though!).
Arts and Humanities
If you’ve ever wanted to go on set and yell that iconic phrase, “Lights! Camera! Action!”, this is the path that takes you there. On the humanities side, you’ll jump into the human mind to explore philosophy and language.
Business and Communication
These two areas are more related than you might think. To start and secure funding for a business, for example, one must also be a strong communicator.
Education and Social Services
Whether you’re a teacher or a social worker, education and empowerment go hand in hand.
Health and Medicine
Pursuing a career in medicine can be very rewarding — and challenging. If you want to get into medical school, you’ll need a strong academic foundation.
Law and Legal Studies
Object to the status quo and sustain your drive to a future in law. Corny puns aside, to obtain a law degree, the foundational work starts with undergraduate legal studies.
Social Sciences
Curious about why people behave the way they do? You can study that – exploring both human behavior and culture.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Study STEM and you could learn to code, slice a gene or two, or solve some of the world’s biggest scientific problems.
Skilled Trades and Technical Fields
If working with your hands is second nature, the trades can be an excellent way to turn hobbies into rewarding careers.
Personal Services and Development
Love helping people feel their best? Well, you have the opportunity to turn that passion into a career — beauty, fitness, wellness, hospitality, you name it, you are needed there.
Looking to Find Your Dream School?
Exploring all your options is the next step toward your future. Discover schools that match your needs, interests and goals — so you can take the next step toward your future with confidence.
Enhancing Your Prospects With ROTC
Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is a training and development program you can join in college. It offers educational benefits, tuition assistance and reimbursement, and valuable leadership training while allowing you to enjoy the full college experience.
