Guided Search - Majors Data

GuidedPath provides search capability for Fields of Study and Majors for colleges.  The Guided Search tool is accessed through the main navigation bar under Colleges.  You can combine the majors search with other criteria on the other search categories. You can also export the results. 

Select the Majors category on the left hand side.

 

Searches can be performed using the Specific Majors area OR the Fields of Study area.  Use one area OR the other for predictable results.

What are Fields of Study? - are branches of knowledge that are taught and researched as part of higher education. Fields of Study have many majors associated with them.  There is no consensus on how some majors should be classified, so multiple fields of study should be examined when looking for a specific major.

Search for Colleges that have specific majors

In the Specific Majors area, select one or more majors in the dropdown "filter" adjacent to a field of study name.   Click on the "compare" box to show the results on the grid.  The majors in more than one field of study can be selected. 

Recommendation:  Major searches are data intensive - we suggest limiting the number of majors selected to 10 or less.

Click Search to view the results.  Each field of study that you selected the "compare" box will be shown in a separate column.
