Product Description
The Book of Majors 2012 helps students answer these questions: What’s the major for me? Where can I study it? What can I do with it after graduation? Revised and refreshed every year, this book is the most comprehensive guide to college majors on the market. In-depth descriptions of 200 of the most popular majors are followed by complete listings of every major offered at more than 3,800 colleges, including four-year, two-year, and technical schools. The 2012 edition has been expanded to include many emerging new majors identified by the U.S. Department of Education—more than 1,100 majors are listed in all. This is also the only guide that shows what degree levels each college offersin a major, whether a certificate, associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate. The guide features • insights—from the professors themselves—on how each major is taught, what preparation students will need, other majors to consider and much more • updated information on career options and employment prospects • inside scoop on how students can find out if a college offers a strong program for a particular major, what life is like for students studying that major, and what professional societies and accrediting agencies to refer to for more background on the major

Must Have!!, Mar 20 2012
By Shane Maldonado - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Book of Majors 2012 (Paperback)
This book is ESSENTIAL if you work with college bound youth. I've ordered a copy for every organization I work with through my Education Consulting work. It is much more comprehensive than the collegeboard.com website and is very easy to use. The descriptions of majors have helped many of my "undecided" students decide what they want to pursue. The comprehensive college listings in the back of the book make it much easier for students to narrow down their college choices by state and highest degree offered in their field of study. A must have hands-down!!

This review is from: Book of Majors 2012 (Paperback)
The Book of Majors 2012 is a great resource given you quick access to the manymajors that are offered by all the colleges in the United States. This way I can
see what is offered at the colleges and get more details about that particular
college by visiting their web-site. This gives me detailed and up to date information
at the turn of a page.
