What should I do if my study-abroad university does not have my preferred major?

If your study-abroad university lacks your preferred major, consider exploring related fields that align with your interests and career goals. Many disciplines share overlapping skills, and switching to a adjacent major may still provide valuable opportunities.

Alternatively, inquire about transferring credits to another institution that offers your desired program. Research partnerships or exchange programs between universities, as these may facilitate a smoother transition.

If transferring isn’t feasible, supplement your education with online courses, certifications, or internships in your preferred field. This demonstrates initiative and keeps your career path on track despite the initial setback.
