Abstract

This paper focuses on the theme of the satisfaction level of Chinese college students with their major choices” through reviewing prior research. Firstly, the definition of satisfaction with major choices and the significance of studying students’ satisfaction with their major choices are posted in the Introduction part. Then, the “Current Situations” part indicates that Chinese college students’ level of satisfaction with major selection is not high. Also, there are some other problems but often neglected phenomena existing. Then the paper comes to the analysis of factors that influence students’ satisfaction with their major, which is divided into two streams: subjective factors and objective factors. The subjective factors include students’ willingness and the gap between students’ expectations and reality. The objective factors include employment prospects, teaching equipment and professional practice opportunities, and the quality of professional teachers. Despite that there are various drawbacks to the surveys and statistics, the paper argues that such a study is of enlightening significance for the development of China’s higher education, and the implications in three aspects (i.e. governments, colleges, and college students themselves) are suggested in the end.
