1. Business major

Business majors focus on the cultivation of students' comprehensive abilities such as data calculation, problem solving, decision making, communication skills and so on. Students will learn the whole process of budgeting, organizing, planning, executing and controlling activities.

Sub-specialties include: Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, financial engineering, business analysis, accounting, etc.

Ii. Chemistry Major

Chemistry belongs to natural science and is a major of theoretical study. However, different from other natural science disciplines such as mathematics and physics, this discipline is more oriented to practical research and technology, and has crossover with many other disciplines such as medicine and materials, so it has better employment prospects.

In recent years, the scientific community has realized that it is encouraging graduate students to study across disciplines. In fact, cross-disciplines lead to more job opportunities for doctoral students in scientific disciplines.

This point in the rise of biotechnology, biochemistry, materials science and other disciplines can be more prominent. Major directions: Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry, etc. Job prospects include chemists and materials scientists, chemical engineers, etc.

3. Biology Major

Most of the departments of biological science and related majors in American universities are set up under the College of Life Science and Technology, but the names of each school are very different, some are called the Academy of Life Science (or department), some are called the Academy of Biological Science and Technology (or department), some are called the Department of Biology, and most of the departments focusing on genetic engineering are called the Department of Bioinformation. Medical universities or medical schools are mostly called biomedical departments, as well as food science and bioengineering schools.

Students majoring in biology are mainly applying for non-medical clinical fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, neurobiology, genetics and other related research directions.

4. Computer Science major

Computer science is a science that studies the nature, laws and problems of automatic calculation by machines. In addition to learning about computer hardware and software, the field also involves learning and applying knowledge such as robotics, natural language cognition projects, artificial intelligence, programming, big data analysis, and game design techniques.

Regardless of the direction, the field is very focused on professional problem solving.

Sub-specialties include: Artificial Intelligence and Machines, Computer Information Science, Computer Graphics, Computer systems Analysis, Data Processing, Game Design, Information Technology, Web design, Network Administration. Students majoring in computer science generally don't have to worry much about employment. Most of the students will go to work in industry. Some of them chose to work for big, established, well-paid companies (Google, Facebook, etc.), while others chose to challenge themselves at smaller startups.

V. Major in Economics

In American universities, the branches of economics are generally dominated by six research directions: macroeconomics, microeconomics, labor economics, international economics, econometrics and development economics.

Economics is a social science. It is generally offered in the Faculty of Social Sciences, some in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a few in the Faculty of Management.

6. Engineering Major

Engineering has always been a popular major in American universities, second only to business. Engineering majors involve more and more scope, graduates in the future employment, salary, career development and other aspects have a certain competitiveness.

American engineering and science majors are mainly divided into: aerospace, chemical engineering, computer engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical/biological engineering, civil engineering, electrical/electronic/communication engineering, industrial/manufacturing engineering, materials engineering, nuclear engineering and so on.

7. Mathematics Major

Generally speaking, mathematics is divided into pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Pure mathematics, also known as basic mathematics, mainly studies the internal relations of mathematical laws abstracted from the objective world. It can also be said that it studies mathematics itself, rather than for the purpose of application. Applied mathematics, which focuses on explaining natural phenomena and solving practical problems, is a bridge between pure mathematics and science and technology.
