Should College Students be Allowed to Change TheirMajors Midway? Most Chinese college students know how difficult itcan be to change their majors midway through theirstudies. Now, some universities have adopted a moreflexible policy which allows students to changetheir majors without restraint, providing they canmeet the entrance requirements of the course they wishto take. This has aroused a heated dicussion. In myopinion, this alternation in major policy is good forstudents' development and should be practiced in alluniversities.
Firstly, reducing the limitations previously imposed on changing majors gives students anotherchance to select their careers with a maturer outlook. It is well known that the majors manycollege students take are not what they are really interested in. As a result, some students haveno zest in their major at all. In the past, students had to either struggle with their originalchoices or kill their time in desperation and wait for the second choice in their postgraduatestudies. Therefore, restriction on changing major is in fact an artificial barrier forstudents' development and should be lifted.
Moreover, allowing students to shift to the major they are good at means better exploitationof their potential talent. Every student has his/her own passion and talent. Universities, asan important education institution, should try their best to help students to achieve theirpotential instead of suppressing it. There are numerous outstanding figures in history whogave up their original major and achieved great success in the new major. For example, YangZhenning would not have won the Nobel Prize if he has stuck to experimental physics.
In conclusion, we should provide students an opportunity to take a more decisive role in choosing their individual destiny. A flexible major policy can produce a win-win situation.
