College majors have a direct impact on future earnings and the types of jobs students will secure. But community colleges often provide an often overwhelmingly large set of program options, many of which are poorly defined and not clearly aligned with student end goals, says this chapter of a publication from the Community College Research Center. To improve students’ major selections, the authors suggest that majors and programs be redesigned to be more coherent, easier to navigate and better connected to subsequent education and employment.
