Queen’s University has developed “major maps” for all 44 of its undergraduate programs

Queen’s University has announced that it has developed “major maps” for all 44 of its undergraduate programs, reportedly making it the first Canadian university to embark on such a project. The maps provide students with information on academics, extracurricular activities, networking, international opportunities, and career development. They are designed to assist students before, during, and after their degree by helping them choose a program of study and understand their career options and potential learning opportunities, as well as guiding them to think about how to translate their skills into the labour force. “The maps are not prescriptive; rather, they offer suggestions and ideas, recognizing that the student body is not a homogeneous group….”  said Miguel Hahn, the project lead and a career counsellor at Queen’s.  Click here to visit the website.

For more information and ideas about career possibilities for university majors, check out the other links on the Adult Education Career Centre website.  Select the “Self/Career Exploration and Labour Marketing Information” menu.
