Research - What Should I Study?

The best way to figure out what you want to study is to explore our areas of study, degree types, Pathways, transfer options and more. Research is important because some areas of study have need-to-know details like specific starting dates and length of the program, which helps with financial aid and other issues you may need to consider.
