Most Popular College Majors

You’ve heard these majors from dozens of college students in years above you, but you want to know more about the most popular college majors.

What does “business” really mean? It has to be more than wearing suits and cracking jokes about the weather around a water cooler, especially considering it is the most popular common major in the U.S. according to the Pew Research Center. What about nursing? You know you love to help people, but what are the down and dirty details of the degree?

Do your homework before you jump into a major with real homework you’ll despise. You have time to explore in college, but these most popular majors are a great place to start.

Looking to get a bit more specific with your major search? Luckily, College Magazine writers covered just about every major in the book with in-depth guides.
