1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
When students begin college, they're often intimidated by the rarified atmosphere of intellectual life, so their colleges walk them through course enrollment and see to it that they enroll in a variety of courses designed to give them a good start on academic life. After the first semester, however, students begin to make more informed and independent course choices, which may be based on requirements, practicalities, and personal bent.
For every incoming college student, choosing the best course can be a difficult decision while choosing a major and thinking about the future career is yet another difficult task to reflect on.
A major is a field in which a student chooses to specialize during its postgraduate study. The choice determines the academic discipline, environmental influences and the interest in the field of the student.
There are some students who arrive on campus and know exactly what course or major to pursue and already having an idea what their future careers will be but most of the students do not know which major will get them there. In fact, due to the large number of courses available to students, most of them find themselves switching majors during college.
