As director of the Undergraduate Degree Program in Cognitive Science, I discuss the major with interested students, help students fill out declaration of major forms, advise students during enrollment periods, and provide general advice on a variety of issues. When choosing a major and also when picking a concentration within the major, students tend to believe that they must narrow their interests in selecting a program of study. I attempt to help them see that it is equally an opportunity to broaden their horizons. Rather than ask them what they want to do with their degree when they graduate, I phrase the question as, "What doors do you want to have open for yourself when you graduate?" The advising exercise then becomes one of maximizing the number of open doors.
