The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence the choice of a major in a sample of 655 science students enrolled in 14 high schools. It was found that more than 80 percents of students had already chosen their desired majors by the second year of high school. Half intended to apply for medical colleges. The preference of medical colleges was more pronounced in high-ranking students. It was found that students who scored highly on career decision level assessments were more likely to major in science. The most important determinant for students in choosing majors was subject interests. Career concerns and students' grades also influenced the choice of majors. In this study, it is concluded that the career decision level of students and subject interests influenced their choice of major. These findings suggest the career development programs and efforts to expose students to various career paths will increase the ability to make informed educational decisions.

The purpose of the study is to analyse students' academic achievement by their university major field and changes of grade. The subject was entering students of C medical graduate school in 2008. We divided entering students' major fields into two fields that are natural science and non-natural science filed. We analysed academic achievements of entering students by grades, curriculum from 2008 to 2011. And We analysed to find out whether there are differences in academic achievements by grades, curriculum of each major fields. There were no significant statistical differences in academic achievements by grade, curriculum of the two different university major fields. Futhermore, as a results of analysis on level(high, medium, low) distribution and differences of academic achievements by grade, curriculum of the two different university major fields, there were no statistically meaningful results. There is the need to keep entrance selection systems that open the possibility of selecting the students with other academic background. And there is the need to change general awareness assuming that there are differences in academic achievements by university major fields. We need to guide students with belief of their learning possibility.

The study aims to find a way to guarantee high school students choose science subjects by exploring its necessity as a prerequisite for admission to university science and engineering major courses. For this purpose, a survey was administered to 516 science & engineering college students to investigate their cognition and completion of the prerequisite science subjects related to their major, department adjustment, and influence on their major of study. Among nine major clusters, Physics was identified as a science domain with a high relevance to majors in five major clusters, and Chemistry in three. The students who completed both science I and II subjects related to their majors responded most positively to the usefulness of prerequisite subjects to their studies. Suggestions include conditions for the opening of science II subjects, strengthening the connection between science subjects and IT, promotion of linkage between the prerequisite subject and major studies to assert students' choice of science subjects in high school.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the satisfaction of college students majoring in healthcare-related fields with their major and with their clinical practice on their career decision-making level and to investigate the mediating effect of their satisfaction with clinical practice on the relationship between their satisfaction with their major and their career decision-making level. The subjects were 180 college students who had completed clinical practice as part of their healthcare-related majors at C University in A-gun, B-do Province. Their completed questionnaires were collected between March 2 and March 5, 2020; 165 questionnaires were used for the data analysis. Questionnaires with missing or insincere responses were excluded. According to the results of this study, the students showed a mean of 3.99 points in their satisfaction with their major, 3.33 points in their career decision-making level, and 3.71 points in their satisfaction with clinical practice. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the students' satisfaction with their major, their career decision-making level, and their satisfaction with clinical practice. In addition, their satisfaction with clinical practice produced a partial mediating effect on the relationship between their satisfaction with their major and their career decision-making level, and those with a higher level of satisfaction with their major and with their clinical practice also presented higher career decision-making levels. Therefore, the present study suggests that healthcare-related students' satisfaction with their major and with clinical practice should be enhanced to increase their career decision-making levels.

This study analyzes the impacts of undergraduate-work-experiences for beauty-major's graduates. 168 samples were selected from Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey data 2012 ~ 2017. As a result of a Multiple logistic regression analysis, a job experience, job period, and number of experienced job type mattered. In case of having non-major job experience while studying, the opportunities of finding a job of one who has no experience was higher than that of one had over a year work experience. While in case of having major job experience in the field of studying, one who has experience over 6 months and less than a year had higher chance in finding a job than that of one who had over a year work experience. I hope this promotes reviewing a systematic educational policy and helps to get a fundamental information on job-seeking behavior of beauty major graduate.
