| Abstract | Despite the increased use of innovative computerrelated technologies, undergraduate students seem less interested in the technology-related majors, resulting in declining Information Systems (IS) program enrollments. With these existing challenges, IS educators and administrators must understand the factors affecting college major choice. Through extensive literature reviews, we collected important influencing factors and utilized these factors in our survey. This study provides insight into the identification of critical factors that may revitalize declining IS enrollments. The survey conducted as part of this research addresses condition, background, outcome, and interest factors relating to major choice. After the analysis of our survey data, the response differences between high school and college students and between male and female students are reported. |
