Into Second Year

Nothing has to be written in stone yet, but the time is coming to pick a program of study! You only have about 3 semesters before you run out of general education classes and basic skills, so consider trying something in a field you are interested in in the fall. Spring and summer are a great time to start considering what major(s) or minor(s) you might want to pursue. We have so many resources to help you! Check out this link to learn about the FOCUS 2, "What can I do with my Major?", the SVSU catalog and more! Additionally, using experiences outside the classroom (such as summer jobs and internships) can help you decided what career area you want to pursue and what major would support you!
