One college major remains the top choice among undergraduate students for yet another year.
Student financial services company Student Choice wanted to know how America's most popular college majors have changed over time, so they analyzed 121,862 undergraduate student loan applications from 2016 to 2023 and visualized the shift in the chart below.
Business remains the most popular major overall, making up almost 13 percent of all student loan applications last year, followed by nursing (10.87 percent).
The share of engineering applications has dropped 1.19 percent since 2016, while psychology rose from fifth- to third-most popular college major over the same period.
Meanwhile, a handful of majors joined the top 25 list in 2023: health, architecture, and liberal arts.
