Refining Your College Search: Major Selection
High school seniors, our last blog discussed tips to help you finish your senior year and begin preparing for college. This time around, our hope is more specifically to help you figure out precisely which colleges to apply to (that’s always the hardest part). One of the most important things that you will need is options. Believe it or not, at least 50% of undergraduates change their majors at least once before graduation (msn.com; psu.edu; purdue.edu). I can attest to that.
So how do these options factor into your college selection? Your potential career should have plenty of flexibility, so any college you choose should have several majors that will fit your needs.
Wrapping Up the Costs of College
Students who are seniors in high school and plan on attending college in the fall, now is that time to, according to Keuka’s Financial Aid Office:
- Review financial aid awards.
- Contact the financial aid office with any questions you may have.
- Submit your enrollment deposit to the admissions office.
- Attend Summer Orientation/Pre-registration Day.
- Apply for various loan programs or installment payment plans.
With that in mind, you might be feeling a little lost, or a bit overwhelmed. If you haven’t already visited Keuka’s Financial Aid Page, then now is the time to do so. I researched some online opportunities for finding outside funding, and I also spoke with Keuka’s financial aid director, Jen Bates. Here is what I found:
My Field Period at Naples Valley Brand Products
Where else do you get to complete an intership every academic school year where you receive three credit hours, gain valuable jeb experience, increase your professional network, explore your interests, and just have a great time? The answer, to you, is probably obvious by now. The field period program is probably one of the first things you heard about Keuka College. Even so, it’s always good to hear even more about how awesome it it.
This January I completed my second field period at Keuka College. I did a visual & verbal art field period designing Facebook content, print publications, and a recipe book for Naples Valley Brand Products. The company is a sole proprietorship that makes delicious, gourmet jams, mustards, spices, and more.
