Abstract

This study explores how various measures, ranging from assimilation, to human capital, to family capital, and Holland's career-development theories, affect Asian-American students' choice of college majors. To test our hypotheses, we examine choice of college major using a unique measure based on the early earning potential of a large number of specific majors.
