Your Academic & Career Pathway

Your declared major is what will help you select your Academic & Career Pathway. In fact, if you have already selected a major, you already belong to an Academic & Career Pathway. Academic & Career Pathways are formed around majors that have much in common, including the courses needed to complete your degree. These Academic & Career Pathways are broad areas that include related majors--so that you can find out about your pathway and career opportunities based on your interest!

Why Choose a Pathway?

As a student, your academic experience will revolve around your Academic & Career Pathway, so the more you get involved, the more you will benefit from all Miramar has to offer.

Not Sure Which Major (or Academic & Career Pathway) is Right for You? No worries!  Try these tools and resources to help you explore your talents and interests. 

Take An Assessment With A Career Coach

And remember, sometimes, we need to take a few classes to learn more about our interests and what we want to pursue in the future. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to get a few requirements out of the way (like your college English and Math courses), and take a variety of General Education courses that will introduce you to many academic disciplines and give you a taste of what you can study and where those paths can lead you. Here at Miramar, we have developed a template of classes you can take if you are undecided to help make sure you do not waste time or money trying to find your future career.

Academic & Career Pathway has a set of program maps for the majors available in that area. These maps will help give you insight into a possible course sequence that you could take to help you achieve your goal of either graduation or transfer. Don't forget to meet with your academic counselor to create YOUR personal map though as each university has slightly different requirements.
