Abstract
The essay here is going to give a systematic summary of the potential reasons affecting the choice of college majors of the students, especially the formation of the disparity in scientific majors and humanistic majors. Moreover, the consequence of the disparity is also discussed here. Utilizing ecological theories and cognitivism, the reasons are divided into external factors such as social and family environment, gender stereotype and policies, and internal factors such as self-perception, future development and sense of qualification. A systematic review helps to emit outdated and false information and find out solutions for the problem. Also, revealing the dilemma of males and females, the society would give more freedom for them to choose their major out of their own willingness. In addition, as gender equity and education equity are always a heat topic in contemporary society, efforts should be put to fix the problem and contribute to the civilization of human.
