Tóm tắt

This study explored Asian American students’ likelihood of selecting STEM over liberal arts or business college majors using the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002. Student-level variables were the strongest predictors of college major, followed by parent-level variables, and background variables. Academic achievement and interest were the largest determinants of college major. Parenting styles and school involvement influenced choice of STEM over liberal arts majors but not STEM over business majors. © NASPA 2017.
