What are Meta-Majors?
Meta-majors are groupings of similar areas of study designed to help students who are undecided narrow down their interests and decide on a major. Meta-majors can also help students make the connection between their studies and different career opportunities. Exploring meta-majors will help students pick the right degree-applicable classes and complete their educational goals on time. View program maps for each meta-major.
How Were They Selected?
FLC utilized input from all constituency groups via in-person collegewide meetings as well as historical student data provided by the Office of Institutional Research to identify the meta-majors.
Who Are Success Coaches?
Folsom Lake College provides all first time students with a direct connection to a staff member, called a Success Coach, providing students an easy way to request information, ask questions, and receive help quickly. Success Coaches also follow up with students who may need a little more support or help with topics like enrolling in classes, finding out where to purchase books and supplies, and how to access FLC's diverse resources. If you haven't reached out to your Success Coach, contact them today!
