What's the most common college major in the US?

Hi there, I'm still exploring what I want to major in and I was wondering, what's currently the most popular choice amongst college students in the United States?

9 months ago

The most popular college major in the United States is currently Business Administration and Management. This particular field attracts a large number of students due to its broad application across industries and its versatility in the job market. It's also appealing because students learn a variety of skills such as leadership, strategic thinking, and problem-solving, which are not only useful in a business setting, but can be applied to virtually any career path. Other highly popular majors include Nursing, Psychology, and Biology. However, you should consider choosing a major that aligns with your personal interests and career goals rather than simply going with what's most popular. It's always best to explore, discover what you are passionate about and use those insights to guide your decision.
