After taking four semesters of college courses in HS my homeschooled middle applied to the college and declared a major, nursing. Of course the college requires courses in other majors and one of the first courses she took was an English course. The English teacher told her that she was an excellent writer and needed to change her major to English. ``This child was a passable writer but no English major, I know, I taught her. She was being recruited.
Of course there were the required Women’s Studies courses and she was recruited there too. But we were ready for these programs trying to fatten their majors to continue funding at that point.
Be very careful if your child is thinking of changing majors. There is a lot of heavy recruitment going on out there by baby boomer profs who want to keep their jobs.
