== Strategy #4: Pairing a design course with the top 10 majors that fall under pre-professional career ambitions ==
Overview: Students coming into college often have a hard time choosing their major. As 18 year olds, it can be extremely stressful and difficult to choose the path they want to take that will affect their careers and success in such a huge way. Often times, students don’t have a well-rounded view of the majors on campus; for example, students who are an intended biology major may never have been exposed to any sort of engineering class that may impact their decision on their major. Therefore, it is important that students are able to experience the different majors on campus before making a decision. To address this problem, we have designed a strategy in which a design course is taught that incorporates the top 10 most popular majors on campus; this course would outline the course work of the majors, prerequisites, possible careers that utilize each major and corresponding salaries, and what the day-to-day life would be in each of those careers (i.e. hours, amount of work, freedom for a personal life, etc.) In designing such a course, students are able to be exposed to a few of the most popular majors on campus and can therefore make a more well-informed decision on their future path.
