Choosing a Major
Not sure what major best suits your interests and talents? Well, UIndy students can log in to PathwayU to take a short career aptitude test that measures you against more than 100 traits. With that data, you can be matched with some of the 800+ careers in the program. After taking the test, you’ll meet with an Academic Success Advisor or Career Coach to go over the results and help you make a plan.
