Explore Majors and Minors

Fresno State is sure to have a major that interests you. However, remember that your choice of a major does not necessarily dictate what careers you will be able to enjoy unless technical or specialized training and education are required. Selecting a major that interests you is the first step to creating a career path that can lead you on an exciting and memorable journey.

Once you have learned more about yourself and selected possible majors to consider, it's time to explore how careers may be related to majors. Remember, in most cases, your career is not determined by your major. Your college education provides a solid foundation for many possible and future career choices.  Knowing that you can work with a career counselor from your first semester is reassuring. To meet with a career counselor, visit the Career Development Center in the University Student Union (USU) Room 306 or call 559.278.2381 or email careers@csufresno.edu.
