Step 2: Research CAPs and Majors
Explore Career and Academic Pathways (CAPs) and majors to find the best fit for you. CAPs are groups of similar programs designed to help you select a program of study (i.e., a major) and speed your progress towards completion. A major is a specific subject that students can specialize while earning their college degree. Before you explore CAPs and majors, you should have a good understanding of your interests, personality, values, skills, and abilities. Doing so will help you make an informed decision on whether a CAP and major is a good fit for you.
