Improving Advising in the Sciences: Analysis of the Educational Environments of Science- and Math-Related Majors
Levin, James; Hussey, Ruth B.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n6 p28-35 May 2007
Students, faculty, and advisers must have ready access to current, accurate, and useable information about programs and curricula (Commission for Undergraduate Education 1995). College and university publications (e.g., bulletins, catalogs, schedules of classes, websites) generally provide brief descriptive overviews of each major and list courses required to graduate. If using only these materials, it is a difficult, time-consuming task for students, faculty, and advisers to compare majors across common dimensions. This article provides an analysis of science- and math-related majors across eight content dimensions which provides students with majors that are congruent with their interests and abilities. (Contains 5 figures and 11 tables.)
