This is the characteristic of China and the former Soviet Union. In fact, American and western university education is not like this. University education in the United States, in particular, does not divide majors, but focuses on general education first, laying a solid foundation and planting seeds of interest for personal and professional development in the future. Take Harvard University as an example. The core courses of general education undertaken by Harvard College mainly involve six fields: foreign culture, historical research, literature and art, morality, natural science and social analysis. These core courses are not embellished as elective courses, but implemented as compulsory courses. Of course, compulsory courses refer to the control of credits and fields. In fact, which course to choose is entirely up to the students themselves, because there are hundreds of courses in the above six fields.

Only in the post-university stage can students enter the stage of professional education. Therefore, choose to subdivide into different professional fields. Take the law major in America as an example. They welcome students with different professional backgrounds to study law, but they don't like students with legal professional backgrounds. In addition, professional education in the United States is actually divided into two major directions, one is research and the other is application. The former is relatively few and the latter is more. Professional masters and doctors are very popular in the United States and are necessary thresholds for entering many industries.
