This is a wonderful idea! You are addressing an issue that is very real for many high school students. Picking a college and a major that will lead you to a successful career is something that can determine the trajectory of your professional life. I would like to see you expand on this app idea to incorporate additional support for students during the college application process. You could incorporate a list of jobs that go along with each major or you could add a list of required college courses that you need to take for specific careers. This app idea could really help students that do not have guidance on the college admissions process to hone in on a college, major, and career path. Great work.
👏 HR Tech Strategy at Guardian Life — Emoti-Con Judge
Nice idea for providing visibility to potential college students about majors as a factor in selecting an option to pursue.
As you iterate, it would be great to consider including information about a users interests and providing more info about what people in a specific major do to further assist in the selection. In addition, market demand for these roles and possibly a comparison of how many students compared to the demand to show potential gaps. Finally, perhaps some info about types of majors that allow flexibility to adapt as some jobs available for college graduates may not even exist during the application process.

All the research that goes into finding the right college can be very messy and sometimes very hard depending on their website. Great job exploring the idea for a college information App! I really love the idea of getting all your college information in one place, which might encourage users to look deeper into the colleges as they get interested in their programs and demographics! I would love to see you incorporate locations and student community life on the campuses listed. This would go great with some of the other information you listed in your design process! Nice work!
👏 CEO at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
So well done! You did exactly what professional app developers do -- you identified real problems that aren't being resolved with current solutions. By creating an app that more easily gives users access to the information they REALLY want, you are making people's life easier. This is exactly what the best tech solutions should be doing! Your design is really thoughtful and I bet you already have a list of features that you'd like to include in the next version of this design. Your presentation is thorough and exciting to read. Great stuff!
