摘要
This study analyzes choice of academic major for different racial groups. While Asian Americans choose different majors than non-Asians, differences in factors affecting choice of major occur between European Americans and African, Hispanic, and Native Americans. Academic preparation, private schools, and maternal influence are areas of disparate influence for different racial categories.
