In the 2008-2009 Bulletin fo San Francisco State University it states that "Most students change their major at least once while attending college." Can anyone provide more specifics?

What are some college majors?

Every college has different majors, and all should have a list of the majors they have available on their websites. Here are some common majors: Art History Math Economics Communications Pre-med Pre-law Dance Theater English Biology Chemistry Physics Computer Science Engineering


In a certain college 33 of the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities Find the probability from a random sample of 10 students who are physics majors-Exactly 2 belong to ethnic minorities?

Don't we need to know how many physics majors there are in the college? Also, if you're trying to make a point about affirmative action, please note that the lines are drawn around "underrepresented minorities," not "ethnic minorities." For example, most classified as "Asian-Pacific Americans" would not directly benefit from AA.


What percentage of college freshman take calculus?

The majors that require calculus are all mathematics, science, and engineering majors. These include (but are not limited to) mathematics, mathematics education, science education, biology, chemistry, physics, civil engineering, chemical engineering, biological engineering, electrical engineering, biochemistry, pharmeceuticals, and computer science. So about 99% of students in those majors and related majors will take calculus their freshman year (typically the second semester). I say 99% because calculus is a prerequisite for all other courses in those majors (so it must be taken very early), but there is a very small possibility (I'd say 1% chance) that students can take calculus their sophomore year instead.

What types of math majors are there?

This all depends on the colleges that offer these majors. Some types of math majors I know are:Applied Math - take math courses that have some applications to real life.Pure Math Majors - take math courses, in which the content doesn't rely a lot of on the application of math. Instead, students study the aspects of how math is created.(In some universities) Education Math Majors - usually take some math courses and some physics and computer science courses. They need to take some education courses, based on their goals.
