In this module, you will explore the majors available to you and what those majors could lead to after your time at Tulane. Embarking on your career journey involves exploration at every stage.

Whether you’re just starting or contemplating a major switch, delving into your interests, values, and skills and relating them to different majors, careers, and preferred employers is crucial. Here are some tangible ways to start to explore and stay organized.

Career Notes

Remember that a major does not equal a career. Careers are not usually linear throughout your life. This opens you up to many possibilities throughout your journey and your path will not look like someone else's. At Tulane, students craft their unique career experiences even as they start selecting from the many major and minor options available to them.

Module Learning Objectives
