Answer: The two universities have their own advantages, both in terms of majors and rankings. Specifically:
1. From a professional point of view:
Ucla offers 125 undergraduate majors and 90 postgraduate courses. The university is famous for its excellent STEM courses in the United States. Future students can choose 120 postgraduate and doctoral programs offered by universities.
According to feedback from students and graduates, the most popular majors at UCLA are biology, business economics, film and television, political science and psychology.
Washington University in St Louis is known as one of the "New Ivy League". Washington University in St. Louis has the strength to compete with other first-class universities in the United States in many disciplines, and many majors in its departments are very good.
The most popular majors for students are computer science, experimental psychology, biology/bioscience and general science. In fact, Washington University in St. Louis awards 157 degrees to computer graduates every year. It is conceivable that computers are very popular in this university.
2. From the world ranking:
Ucla University World University Ranking14; Times Higher Education World University ranked 20th in 2022; Ranked 40 th in 2022QS World University; Washington University in St. Louis 2023QS World University Ranking118; 2022USNews world university ranking 31; World University Ranking 51in 2022; Arwu World University ranked 27th in 2022. If you simply look at the world rankings, there is not much difference between the two rankings.
Second, then, in the process of choosing schools in American universities, how should we choose schools?
Ranking is one of the important reference standards for studying abroad. In addition, geographical location, climate, local religious beliefs, consumption level, internship and employment development opportunities are also some important reference standards. Teacher Topsy suggested that students should pay attention to the matching degree of their academic potential with schools and majors when choosing schools and majors. They need to know their personality and career development potential as soon as possible, carefully examine the factors such as school rankings, geographical location, employers' views on graduates, alumni contacts, employment rate, etc., and comprehensively choose the right schools and majors.
