Book of Majors 2010 (College Board Book of Majors) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really, really liked this book. It provided a detailed description of every major and even provided other majors you might like, prospective courses, and even what you should take in high school. In the back there's every major imaginable (seriously- if you want to study Reiki, it's in there) and every single institution that offers it. Community colleges, four-year, whatever. The best part is that it includes every level from Associates to Doctoral. This book doesn't try to rank colleges or even recommend them. Good job, College Board!
