How many college grads go into their major?

No facts or stats here, but in my experience, almost nobody, unless they go to graduate school. What matters for most jobs is the degree itself, specific courses or skills, and experience, not major. \n\nSome folks in the working world have a prejudice against art history, theatre, and philosophy majors. These folks are perceived to have no practical skills. Not saying I agree, just saying it's out there.

Not many.  Most are working on graduating and applying to college while a few are working on a beer or getting suzy preggo and a lifetime of flipping burgers and even fewer work from home.

Generally, 33% of americans have graduated college, 15%  of those graduates have gotten a graduate degree, and 1% of those with a graduate degree go on to a PhD.  Keep in mind, that is 15% of the original 33%, then 1% of the 15% of the 33%.  The citizens of the United States are still very much uneducated, and easily manipulated by the government and the church because of this.

they are usually specific to a major (vs GE). the numbering of these courses varies from school to school.

It is impossible to list those colleges. No such group information is available. However, what you can do is write or call those colleges or universities you may wish to attend, ask for a catalog to be sent to you, and check the admission requirements. This is the only way to go, because while a college or university has specific entrance requirements, often programs within the university also have additional requirements. So be sure to check the general admission requirements as well as the requirements of the department where you will major. Good luck.

Just about no one know what they want to do when they get to college and if they think they do, 9 times out of 10, that changes. That's why in many schools you don't even declare a major until your sophmore year at the earliest. \n\nSchools know that it is a good idea for freshman to arrive and acclimate themselves to their surroundings before worrying about a major. They need to actually experience classes in different disciplines before picking your major. So many people go in thinking about one major, but eventually change to a related or sometimes unrelated discipline. I thought I would be a Poli Sci major, but after Intro to Poli Sci, I knew that wasn't going to happen. I eventually became an English/Communication double major.\n\nMy advice is to wait and keep an open mind about majors. When you get there concentrate on fufilling your general requirements (the general liberal arts base required of all students enrolled) before looking at specialized courses. Experience as many different areas as you can. There will be plenty of time for picking a major in the next semester or two. Don't worry!

It really depends on the scchool, but while it's like 8 classes for a major, it's going to be probably like 4 for a minor, I believe.  But I can't entirely remember, I'd check with the registrar of the school you're going to / considering, and see what they say about their particular system.

My crystal ball cannot predict what academic majors will have the most career potential, no one else can either. Just do what interests you the most. College is a waste of your time if you do it only to get a career, you're more likely to enter into a field unrelated to your major. Learn to bullshit, no good bullshit that will actually convince someone.

Tons. It's an incredibly hard major in college but the possibilities in that field are so diverse and interesting. If you can take the course load and really enjoy lab work, it's an amazing field to get into.

That depends entirely on what you major in. I have people I studied with who are working as medical researchers, pharmacuetical salesmen, epidemiologists, botanists, zoologists, marine biologists, aquaculturists, ecologists and horticulturists.\n\nIt really does depend what you study and where. Biology is a very, very broad field.

For example, in Arts & Sciences there are 24 departments from Aerospace Studies to Zoology -- just click on the pulldown menu from the second page listed below.

I was unable to find statistics regarding 2 year (associate) degrees.\n\nApproximately 27% of the United States' adult population has achieved a bachelor's degree or higher.

What is it that you like to do? You are a senior and you still haven't declared a major yet? What are the majority of classes that you have taken? Do you enjoy this subject? You should provide us more information so that we can help you. Do you have any idea of what you want to do after you graduate?

How about: how many people with college degrees work for minimum wage or in a field they didn't go to school for.
