Additional Measures Perceptions of new major Ratings of the importance of different sources
of information in choosing a major

visits to Central Advising There was a small positive correlation
between the number of visits and the overall advisor rating (r = .16, p < .0002)
The overall advisor rating was positively associated with students’ perceptions of majors being interesting (r = .42, p < .001)
