There are many popular majors in studying in the United States, and there are countless majors with good development prospects and good salaries, but the ability and energy of international students are limited, so the choice of majors has become a major problem in studying in the United States.

Refer to personal interests and hobbies

The choice of major not only determines the completion of later studies, but also may affect the career planning of a lifetime. Therefore, if there is no clear direction, you can first consider your personal hobbies and personality characteristics, as well as what career direction you want to pursue in the future, what industry you want to do, academic or practice, and what subjects you are not good at, and then determine a big direction for yourself.

Reference learning cost

Learning cost includes time cost and economic cost. In terms of time cost, it usually takes four years to study undergraduate in the United States, but unlike China, the United States adopts the credit system. Students in most schools can apply for graduation as long as they have completed 144 credits. If they are quick, they can graduate ahead of time, but if they have not studied enough, they will continue to study. There are also special majors that need to be studied for five or other years. In the United States, the master's degree is usually two years, but the business school system is relatively short. Graduate students majoring in business usually spend a year or even a few months. In terms of economic cost, the cost of living is mainly related to the consumption level of regions and individuals. Generally, the more prosperous the area, the higher the living expenses. The main difference of economic cost lies in tuition, which is related to time cost. Generally speaking, the tuition fees of American universities range from 65,438+05,000 to 35,000 dollars per year. Graduate students are more expensive than undergraduate students, and some majors are more expensive, which can be as high as 20 thousand to 50 thousand dollars

Difficulty of reference application

The difficulty of application is related to the ranking of target institutions, the popularity of majors and whether they are interdisciplinary. Generally speaking, the higher the ranking of the target institution, the more popular the major, and the greater the span with the original major, the more difficult it is to apply.

The choice of studying in the United States is not only related to the study content in the next few years, but also to the future career development, and may even affect the whole life. Therefore, you must be very cautious when choosing a major in studying in the United States, and make a decision after consulting many parties.
