Influence of an Academic Workshop on Once-Undeclared Graduates' Selection of a Major
Legutko, Robert S.
College Student Journal, v41 n1 p93-98 Mar 2007
This study determined the influence of an academic workshop on appropriate declaration of a major for students who graduated, but were previously undeclared, at one small, private, urban, coeducational, religiously-affiliated, four-year, commuter college in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A posttest only control group design revealed that students in the workshop made more accurate and informed decisions about their major, made fewer inappropriate decisions, and increased their confidence to formally declare a major. Findings also implied that a workshop may inform undeclared students of more appropriate major options and encourage them to refrain from declaring inappropriate majors. (Contains 1 table.)
