DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION People who have never faced l the problem of choosing a course of study sometimes question a studentls motives in attending college when he expresses in- decision in selecting a major field of study. A glance at the pos- sibilities will illustrate the prob- l lems involved. Walla Walla Col- :lege offers majors in 23 areas l ranging from physics to physical leducation or mathematics to Lmusic. And suppose you choose music; will it be piano, voice, brass instruments, string instru- ments, or music education? i Even the student who wants to enter a profession has more than one field from which to choosee pre-med, pre-dental, pre-dental hygiene, pre-law, pre-medical itechnology, pre-nursing, pre-oe- leupational therapy, prc-optome- ltry, pre-pharmaey, pre-physieal ltherapy, pre-veterinarian, or pre- lX-ray teehnolog. Even though he has selected the profession he l desires, he often faces the decision of a majorebiolotO , zoology, iehemistery, physics, or mathe- l matics. 3 The major decision made, the student faces still another ques- tion, llWhat will I minor in? To Ethis question there is a possibility lof 24 answers.
