Business Degree: What Does Your Major Say About You?

Did you know that your choice of college major could tell someone how religious you are? A recent study looked in to people's frequency of church attendance versus their choice of major using business degree students at their reference point.

A lot of people might expect that those who study physical sciences become the least religious during their tenure at school. The research found that this is not the case; a course of study in the sciences, such as physics or biology, leads to little change in what the authors term religiosity. The survey found that the greatest positive change"those who become more religious during their studies"are those preparing for an education degree. Those who become the least religious relative to their starting point are those majoring in the social sciences.

The authors reached this conclusion by studying religious attitudes, college attendance, and course of study for over 26,000 high school students that graduated between 1976 and 1996. Not surprisingly, the authors found that personal views often changed in the six years following high school.

Using business majors as a reference point, they graphed how religious attendance and its personal importance correlated with different fields of study. Education majors had a positive correlation with both the level of religious importance in one's life and the frequency of attendance at religious services.

Earning your degree can also tell someone how serious you are about your future. Whether you earn your business degree online, or a degree in biology, having one will always help you get the best jobs.
