頂尖大學最受歡迎的專業

我整理了一份來自50所top大學(US News)2020畢業生專業的名單。這份名單不包括文理學院，我最初對有多少計算機專業的畢業生感興趣，所以我包括了一些不在US News排名前 50 名的學校但在 CS 方麵很好的大學。下表中的百分比是該專業的畢業生占畢業生總數的百分比.  I hope this info will help students and parents to decide which schools to apply for their dream majors.  I have info for Class 2019 data.  they are very consistent with Class 2020.

在這50大學中，有20所大學的CS專業排名第一。在排名前 25 的大學中，有 13 所CS 是最受歡迎的專業.  這些學校是普林斯頓大學、哥倫比亞大學、麻省理工學院、斯坦福大學、加州理工學院、杜克大學、布朗大學、聖路易斯華盛頓大學、康奈爾大學、賴斯大學、伯克利大學、密歇根大學、CMU、塔夫茨大學、加州大學歐文分校、佐治亞理工學院、CWRU、威斯康星大學麥迪遜分校、普渡大學、馬裏蘭大學公園。在同樣的 50 所大學中，有 40 所大學的 CS 位居最受歡迎專業的前 6 名。Only UCLA, Emory, Georgetown, NYU, UCSB, Wake Forest, Boston College, UC Davis, W & M, Tulane do not have CS major in their top 6 popular majors.

第二受歡迎的專業是計量經濟學和數量經濟學 (Econometrics/Quantitative Economics)。一些大學特別是公立大學也以經濟學(Economics)為專業，而不是計量經濟學和數量經濟學。我把它們組合在一起。有37所大學的計量經濟學和數量經濟學進入這些大學最受歡迎的前6個專業。

第三個最受歡迎的專業是生物學/生物科學(Biology/Biological Sciences)。有 25 所大學本專業進入前 6 名最受歡迎的專業。Potential Pre-med graduates?

第四個最受歡迎的專業是工商管理和管理 (Business Administration and Management)。有18所大學本專業進入最受歡迎專業的前6名。

第五受歡迎的專業是政治學和政府 (Political Science and Government)。有18所大學，尤其是頂尖私立大學，本專業位列前6名.
