Major Choices Events
This page features current and upcoming events sponsored by the Major Choices program. Major Choices events are designed to help you explore the wealth of opportunities to be found among Princeton's 34 degree-granting departments. These events provide an informal atmosphere in which to engage in conversation with current majors, faculty, and alumni. Events often feature a department’s disciplinary approach to real-world issues, topics addressed by faculty and majors in their research, and the various modes of inquiry possible through a particular discipline. Discussion at these events often turns to answering practical questions about curriculum, funding and resources available through specific departments. Career Services and the residential colleges also co-sponsor events where alumni share advice about their undergraduate experience, major, and the path that led to their current employment or interests. The time you take in making informed choices as you select your major is time well spent. New events are added on an ongoing basis so we encourage you to return often to this page for updated information.
