Choose a Major
Choosing a major is difficult, so make sure you choose the right one or you’ll end up bored and broke. Writing, Oral Communication, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and qualitative and quantitative reasoning (math) are required for Public Affairs and Letter, Arts, and Sciences (LAS) majors. See Course Catalog at catalog.uccs.edu for specifics.
Starting college is accepting that you will once again be the confused freshman with a million questions. You are likely on your own for the first time, in a new place, with responsibilities you aren’t sure you really want. You have to talk to counselors, pick a major, take care of yourself when you get sick and keep your grades acceptable. Thankfully, there are places at UCCS to help.
“Basically, you learn two kinds of things in college:
1. Things you will need to know in later life (two hours).
2. Things you will not need to know in later life (1,998 hours). These are the things you learn in classes whose names end in -ology, -osophy, -istry, -ics, and so on. The idea is, you memorize these things, then write them down in little exam books, then forget them. If you fail to forget them, you become a professor and have to stay in college for the rest of your life.”
