Advancing Major and Career Success for At-promise Students

For at-promise students, rising college costs further escalate the need to complete their degree in a timely manner. Thus, focusing on major and career self-efficacy (MCSE) is one way that higher education institutions
can strategically support at-promise students as they align their personal, academic, and professional goals. Studies have shown that greater confidence in one’s abilities related to their career helps foster motivation
and satisfaction with their major as well as greater career exploration and persistence. This study builds on prior work, showing how programs and practitioners can enhance at-promise students’ major and career success.
