Just a guess, could it be those institutions automatically enroll freshmen in some kind of default general major, until they pick something specific?
It would be interesting to look at degrees awarded instead of current major.
I know that the average college student changes their majors 5 times before they graduate with a 4 year degree.
Yes, look it up on Niche. We don't have a medical school. Our biology department has always been big because our Premed department program has always one of the best recognized in the area. Other than that and Nursing, our Business School and Education departments have been big. Our two big doctoral programs are the DNP and EdD. I think we will slowly add more doctorals but we have largely specialized in making sure our undergrad programs were highly recognized. The new Nuclear Engineering program should be exciting. I was a little disappointed that our liberal arts degrees were still so high.

This is really good information about where the kids' interests are and how the dollars get spent. I was especially interested in "Sport and Fitness Management - 61 Graduates." I'm wondering how this equips anyone to pursue a career. Yet, I'll try to suspend judgment, as long as I'm not personally on the hook for their loan debt.

those are the numbers of different degrees offered..I'm curious how many of each are rewarded to the 5,000 or so graduating each semester. it seems there are 11 or 12,000 students just in nursing and maybe 4-5,000 over in engineering. they probably garner the most.
