Majors in Minutes allows CWU students to explore majors from students who are currently enrolled in those majors. Using a speed-dating approach, students spend 8 minutes with a CWU junior/senior from a major of interest, asking questions and learning more about that particular major. After those 8 minutes are up, students can choose to either keep chatting with their current major or choose a new major to explore. Students can visit as many or as few majors as they would like.
