Why do college students change their majors?

Answer 1

Some students arrive at college already knowing what their major will be, and do not change it throughout the course of their collegiate career. Others may start out with one major, only to change course later. The number of times depends solely on the student.

Answer 2

That depends upon the student; there is no fixed number of changes which a student is either required to make or limited to making. In theory, you could sequentially major in every subject that your school offers, although that would make for a very prolonged and inefficient education.

Answer 3

About 80% change their major at least once. On average, college students change their major three times over the course of their college career.

Answer 4

because once they get into college they realize that what they wanted will be impossible so they change to the next best thing that will be easiest so they can graduate.
