Connecting Majors to Careers
This section is designed to help you connect majors with careers, hopefully helping you choose the right major for you and get you started on your career development. For each major that interests you, click the Information link to find a document (PDF) listing common career areas, typical employers, and strategies designed to maximize career opportunities. Click Links to find a list of websites that provide information about the given major and related careers.
Keep in mind that the information sheets and websites are representative of typical career paths associated with each major and not a comprehensive list. You may want to explore information and websites from multiple majors to help you learn about a wide range of career opportunities.
Disclaimer: Please note that the websites listed on each Links page are not maintained by SDSU Career Services but are provided as a convenience to students. All external links will open in new windows. We try to keep the lists updated, but sites come and go more often than we can keep up with. If you run across a broken link, please email ylevy@mail.sdsu.edu to let us know.
