Hi Alize!
This is a great question! Personally from experience, I attended my college's business program going into the process with a blind eye. I knew I wanted to study business, but I was not sure where I specifically wanted to study. In more business colleges, you are able to study starting in one area and moving from there. For me, I started out in just a Business Management focused study. After getting multiple opportunities to work in a Human Resources department, I decided that I wanted to solely focus within a HR field. Therefore, I maneuvered my studies and changed my major to Business Management with a focus in Human Resources.
You are easily able to change what you want to study, but make sure that what you do is something that you are interested in, and can see yourself doing for an infinite amount of time.
I hope this helped, and good luck!
Thank you
Molly H.

College is a golden period of self-exploration and personal growth. Diving into a diverse range of business and other subjects could spark your curiosity and lead you to discover your passions.
Internships are a fantastic way to gain practical experience and identify what truly captivates your interest. Remember, there's absolutely no rush to pinpoint the exact business field you wish to delve into. Life is full of surprises and often takes us on unexpected paths. Embrace the unknown and seize the opportunities that come your way if you keep an open mind and a spirit of adventure.
My own alma mater boasts an exciting entrepreneurship program. This program is tailored for ambitious students who dream of launching their own businesses, those who wish to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset for future careers, or simply those who are eager to dip their toes into the fascinating world of entrepreneurship as part of their broader studies. There's a good chance you could stumble upon a similar program that could open up new horizons for you.

Usually, you have the option to alter your major after the initial two years. This is because during this period, you'll be engaged in fundamental business studies.
