Book Description

The Book of Majors 2013 by The College Board helps students answer these questions: What's the major for me? Where can I study it? What can I do with it after graduation?

This is also the only guide that shows what degree levels each college offers in a major, whether a certificate, associate, bachelor's, master's or doctorate. The guide features: • Insights — from the professors themselves — on how each major is taught, what preparation students will need, other majors to consider and much more! • Updated information on career options and employment prospects. • Inside scoop on how students can find out if a college offers a strong program for a particular major, what life is like for students studying that major, and what professional societies and accrediting agencies to refer to for more background on the major.
