Choosing a major is one of the first big decisions for first-year Arts and Science students but by attending Majors Night, students at Queen’s University can make an informed choice.

The second annual Arts and Science Majors Night is being held Thursday, Feb. 25 at Grant Hall from 4-7 pm. At the event students have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about each program within the Faculty of Arts and Science. Members from each Departmental Student Council (DSC) will be available at individual booths to answer questions about their experiences with the programs offered by each department. Last year’s inaugural event drew more than 1,000 students.

“We want to help students find the best fit for them, and have a chance to explore the connections between academics and career options” says Cathy Keates, Director of Career Services. “This event connects students with peers and professional staff who can help with these important decisions and is an example of our ongoing work integrating career and academic advising.”

Advisors from Academic Advising, Career Services and Peer Academic Support Service (PASS) will also be available to answer specific questions about choosing a program and where to find career resources at Queen’s, including QUIP, the year-long internship option for students after third year. Majors Night is a partnership between Career Services, the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS), the Arts and Science Departmental Student Councils and the Faculty of Arts and Science.

Last year Queen’s also created “major maps” for all 44 of its undergraduate programs. The maps provide advice on academics, extracurricular activities, networking, international opportunities and career development, providing support before, during and after students earn their degree.

Students can access the , or get print versions at the event or through their faculty or department advisors.
