Choosing the Right College - choosing a collage


Expert: Todd Johnson - 8/25/2009

Question
I want to go to a collage the helps you learn about wild life and exploring the exotic islands and jungles and rain forests.

i wouldn't even know what to major in. I live in Louisville Kentucky i can go out of state in state where ever i can learn about the thing I've listed above.

please help me out.

Answer
Davon,

I am not sure if there are any majors that just prepare you for the interests you have but I think in general you will want to major in something like biology, botany or zoology. Almost all colleges will have a biology major and many, particularly larger ones, will have a major in botany or zoology. Consider all of the factors you want from a college, not just a major, and then find a college that has what you want.

To find colleges that have some of these majors take a look at the College Navigator website. http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/

That website allows you to search for colleges based on majors but also location, size of college, academic ability of the students and more.

I hope that helps you get started.
