College Majors Scorecard Assessment

Eighty percent of college-bound students have yet to choose a major, according to Dr. Fritz Grupe. Fifty percent of those who do declare a major end up changing it, often more than once. A four-year college degree is hard enough to get in four years, and changing majors often leads to additional years of schooling, with all the tuition and loans such additions entail.

Thus current college students and those who are college bound can benefit from any tools to help them find a major that is a good fit. The College Majors Scorecard does just that. This 147 item assessment leads directly to the 49 different majors most common at colleges across the country. Based on the kinds of work activities that each major is most likely to lead to, the CMS helps students pick a major by making a connection between their knowledge and abilities, their choice of major, and their future career options.

Using an innovative, detachable scorecard design, the CMS is easy to score and easy to interpret. In addition, it provides suggestions and worksheets for further research and matches up directly with the College Majors Handbook.

College Majors Handbook

 * Presents the actual jobs and earnings of college graduates in 60 majors!
* The ONLY book based on a U.S. Census Bureau study of 150,000 college graduates.

This terrific handbook offers the most accurate and helpful information available for making decisions on a college major—or what to do with a degree you have. Readers learn which majors are the best investment, the job and salary prospects for specific majors, the employment growth rates for particular majors, and how many graduates go on to additional education.

The new second edition includes substantial new information, including the important steps to take before college to ensure future career success, the rising earnings premiums related to a college education, and the misinformation that exists about college costs and the belief that the "sticker price" of college is the final price. Each chapter describes the major and the courses it requires; discusses jobs that graduates actually obtain; and gives information on employers, tasks, and salaries.
