KatieCareer Guide to Picking a Major

A major is essentially a college guide; a combination of classes and experiences designed to provide a student with both in-depth and broad-based skills and knowledge. Majors usually fall into one of two categories; Liberal Arts (LA), such as Women’s Studies, which teach a broad range of skills; and professional majors, such as Nursing, which tend to lead directly into one specific career or career field. St. Catherine University offers a mix of both LA majors and professional majors at the baccalaureate level.
