Temple University's Teaching

(TLTR) consists of a diverse
group that meets regularly
and considers issues to provide
advice to our President, Provost,
constituencies and other TU leaders.

Our TLTR is designed to bring
together people who would not
otherwise work together on
educational improvements
(for example, technology
leaders with faculty who are
not yet enthusiastic users of
technology for teaching).

Feeding the pipeline: Gender, occupational plans, and college major
selection

Volume 42, Issue 4, July 2013, Pages 9891005
DOI: 10.1016/j.ssresearch.2013.03.008

Highlights

Gender differences in the first major selected in college are modeled.

Occupational plans in high school are the uniformly strongest
predictors.

Associations with plans cannot be explained away by typical observed
variables.

Gender differences in career orientations in adolescence deserve more
attention.

The results are nonetheless still consistent with prior research on
later STEM attrition

How Should You Choose Your College Major? (VIDEO)

"Due primarily to the difficulty of obtaining ideal data, much remains unknown about how college majors are determined. We take advantage of longitudinal expectations data from the Berea Panel Study to provide new evidence about this issue, paying particular attention to the choice of whether to major in math and science. The data collection and analysis are based directly on a simple conceptual model which takes into account that, from a theoretical perspective, a student’s final major is best viewed as the end result of a learning process."

Decision-making styles in a real-life decision: Choosing a college major
Author: Galotti, Kathleen M.
Journal: Personality and individual differences
ISSN: 0191-8869 Date: 09/2006

Type of Document Dissertation
Author Feduccia, Mary D.

"The primary purpose of this study was to determine the influence of Career Discovery I, the first module in a computer-assisted program for career decision-making, on the stability of the choice of college majors. This study sought to determine whether any differences existed in the stability of college majors between students who entered a Research-Extensive University with undeclared majors, used Career Discovery I, and declared a major by the end of the first semester of enrollment and students who entered the same University with declared majors and did not use Career Discovery I during the investigation. "

"The most important piece of advice in this article follows this sentence, so please make note of it and repeat it to yourself as often as you need as you read this article and make decisions regarding choosing a major in college. Are you ready for it?

The advice:

Don't panic

I know it's easier said than done, but I can't tell you how many students I have advised since the time that I have been a professor that seem in a state of panic if they are uncertain of their major, let alone a career. Choosing a major, thinking about a career, getting an education -– these are the things college is all about.

Yes, there are some students who arrive on campus and know exactly their major and career ambitions, but the majority of students do not, thus there is no need to rush into a decision about your major as soon as you step on campus. "

Choosing a College Major: For Love or for the Money?
December 5, 2004
By DAVID KOEPPEL
New York Times

"College should be about stretching yourself and discovering who you are and what you want," Ms. Steinfeld said. "Schools should not become factories. There are hundreds of majors out there, and it's almost always amistake to base the decision on money alone."
