DOUGLAS — Choosing a college major is one of the most difficult decisions students will face in their academic careers. That’s why Cochise College is offering an event to help students learn about the array of available career programs located close to home and find the direction that’s best suited for them.
Meet Your Major and Aviation Career Open House events will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 27 at the Douglas Campus. The events are free and open for students and the general public to learn about the programs and opportunities available at Cochise College, with the help of advisers, campus tours and information tables.
Students explore their options at Cochise College during last year’s Meet Your Major event on the Douglas Campus.
The Aviation Career Open House offers a chance to not only learn about careers in aviation, but also get a hands-on experience by taking a spin in the flight simulator, exploring the fleet of aircrafts and meeting pilots. The aviation department is also offering a special rate of $64 for a half-hour introductory flight. Just ask about it when you RSVP at 417-4114 by March 15.
Meet Your Major will showcase the advantages available to Cochise College students, including more than 100 degree programs and many career and technical certification programs. Cochise College also has strong links to the University of Arizona, through Cochise Cats and the UA South campuses, and Arizona State University, through Point ASU transfer agreements, and several other four-year universities. Articulation agreements with each university vary, which is why counselors urge students to visit Meet Your Major and receive accurate and vital information.
