Majors in Minutes is hosted during the fall semester by the Office of Academic Advising. At this event, students can hear from upperclassmen representing each of UNI's majors. In ten minute group rotations you will learn about classes, projects and internship/career opportunities as well as have the opportunity to ask your own questions. When the time is up, a student can choose to either stay at the table or move on to learn about a different major. This is a come and go event - students can visit as many or as few majors as they would like! Open to all majors. This is an ideal time to learn more about your own major, as well as possible double majors or minors! Majors in Minutes | Office of Academic Advising (uni.edu)
