If you are interested in authentic Christianity, consider how God could be calling you to a career that is focused on studying Him more and sharing Christ with others.

If you are interested in technology, odds are you are someone who likes to know how stuff works. You want to see the code, the storyboard, or the blueprint that led to the awesome product — like the latest smart tech or video game — that others think is magic. You understand that technology is only as good as the great minds behind it and the creators who use it, the people who have put in hard work to bring the magic to life and use it to help, entertain, or inform the audience. You know there are real people pulling the strings behind the curtain.

For those who are interested in health care, the right profession can be incredibly rewarding. By considering the curriculum you want to study, the type of care you want to offer, and the path you want to take to become a certified or licensed professional, you can narrow down your options to the major that will suit your interests, gifts, and goals the best.

In this “I am interested in…” series, we are exploring ways you can translate your interests into college majors. When you are narrowing down your options for a business major, remember that double-majoring is also a possibility. You do not have to limit yourself to one path — in fact, a combination of multiple majors is often an asset in business.

In this “I am interested in…” series, we are exploring ways you can translate your interests into college majors. With all of this in mind, does a major in agriculture, biology, or chemistry pique your interest?

Any of these majors can be exciting ways to explore your interests in nature and sustainability further and launch a career.

We asked parents who have already been through the college selection process with their high school seniors for tips about the college search process. Here is what they told us.

If you have the traits of a good journalist, I invite you to come and major in journalism at Huntington University. We’ll give you the same training and education we gave Shelly Bradbury, one of our journalism graduates. When in our department, she wrote and edited stories for our campus newspaper — just as students are doing even now online (take a look). After a year of Bradbury’s first stint as a newspaper reporter, she emailed us to say that her “editors seem to agree that writing is one of my strengths, and I've got to guess that's in part because of the classes…where we scrutinized each and every word.” (We make our students true wordsmiths!)

The college decision is a big deal, and one that impacts your future significantly. The pressure to answer questions about a major and your future career could make you hesitant about college, but the truth is that college will bring more value to your life than simply preparing for a specific career, even if you remain undecided. What you learn goes far beyond the classroom.
