  • List of UTC’s Programs (Majors & Minors): UTC has over 100 undergraduate majors, so review your options. If you’re overwhelmed with where to begin, start by identifying majors/subjects you are not interested in. That helps you narrow down to majors you’re interested in or what to learn more about.

 

  • Occupational Outlook Handbook: The OOH is a publication of the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics that includes information about the nature of work, working conditions, training and education, earnings and job outlook for hundreds of different occupations in the United States.

Its purpose is to help students choose a major by guiding them through an exploration of interests related to potential career paths. Undecided or exploratory freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to register. 

 

  • UTC's Center for Career & Leadership Development: The Center for Career and Leadership Development provides UTC students and alumni with the confidence and skills to find your purpose, thrive in your career, and contribute to your communities. 

 

  • What If Analysis on MyMocsDegree: Utilize the “What If” function to see a simulated version of your MyMocsDegree for potential majors. This allows you to see degree progression, how previously completed coursework does or does not apply to that program and identify incomplete program requirements.
