Help Your Students with Career Questions using Major Maps
We are pleased to let you know that the inaugural edition of the Queen’s Major Maps is launching this January 2015. The intent of these maps is to ease the stress that often accompanies career and academic decisions by providing an easy framework students can use for looking ahead to their time at Queen’s and beyond.
Major Maps: What are they?
The Major Maps are a series of 44 unique maps for each undergraduate department at Queen’s. They provide advice on academics, extracurriculars, networking, international opportunities and career planning that is tailored to each individual program.
How can I use the Major Maps?
The Major Maps are meant to be used as a tool to help students plan their time at Queen’s and prepare for life after university. In particular the maps can be useful in helping students to:
- Choose a major or program plan and identify key learning opportunities
- Find ways to get involved, network, and build experience
- Look at career options after graduation and assess skills developed from their degree
