Choosing a major or an industry to pursue for your future can be a difficult decision. In fact, 61% of college graduates say they would change their major if they could go back to school. We also know that the more opportunities you have to learn about different industries, the more confident you can feel in your decision.
Industry Snapshot is a series of programs designed by the Office of Undergraduate Programs in the School of Business. It is a one-hour recorded virtual panel discussion with recent business alumni with targeted questions that will allow students to gain insights into different industries. These programs will assist undergraduate business students in making better academic major and career path choices for their future.
