Abstract:
This study examines business students’ intentions to change majors amid the coronavirus pandemic. Studies have explored factors associated with an undergraduate student’s choice of major, but none have examined intentions to change major in the context of such a disruptive situation. Overall, students in this study did not intend to change majors in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Genuine interest in one’s major was negatively associated with the intention to change major and sensitivity to social referents’ opinions of changing majors was positively associated with intention to change major. Self-efficacy and perceptions of the financial implications surrounding the pandemic were not significantly associated with intention to change major.
