Top 10 Most Popular College Majors

The Princeton Review recently published list of the ten most popular majors for 2005 - 2006. The list don't change much in the last decade from what I can see. It reflects interests and the intellect level of student masses. Several majors are stepping stone for medical and law schools. Be aware that the popularity of majors often has little to do with actual demand for related fields in the workplace. The career fields with the most opportunities do not always appeal to students. And the majors that sound most exciting to students don't always lead to equally snazzy-sounding jobs.

Below is the list of top 10 most popular college majors:

1) Business Administration and Management

2) Psychology

3) Elementary Education

4) Biology

5) Nursing

6) Education

7) English

8) Communications

10) Political Science
