• What Can I Do With a Major In...

  The Career Center has profiled 77 majors from six of the UC Berkeley colleges. The reports detail what choices graduates made in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and illustrate that college majors rarely restrict their career or graduate school options. This may give you ideas for career paths to explore that you may not have previously considered.
