What are the less popular majors?

Philosophy, Museology, Listening, Funeral and Paleontology.

1, philosophy major: At one time, philosophy major has always been the ideal of the top liberal arts scholar. Today, this once "temple of thought" has become a "refuge" for the adjustment profession. Judging from the number of students enrolled, the number of people whose philosophy major is less than 1 10,000 is only a fraction of the number of students enrolled in engineering, and most of them are "transfers".

Nowadays, when students and parents choose university majors, they all exclude philosophy majors from a utilitarian perspective, and at the same time, many jobs are not open to philosophy majors, which leads to the coldness of this major.

2. Museology major: The high recognition of Museology major is an important reason for the sudden disappointment of this major. At the same time, many fans think that the employment of this major is relatively narrow, mainly in the department of museums and archaeology, and undergraduate graduation is not dominant, so many students have taken the postgraduate entrance examination.

3. Listening major: The reason why this major is unpopular has a lot to do with its late start in China. Hearing and speech rehabilitation is a new discipline that developed rapidly after World War II. This paper mainly studies the physiology, pathology and rehabilitation methods of hearing, aiming at helping people with hearing loss recover their hearing. In China, the undergraduate education of audiology didn't really begin until the beginning of this century.

4. Funeral major: After learning that the contents of students' study are "Introduction to Funeral on Monday, Collection of Bodies, Plastic Surgery, Illustration, Burning Bones on Tuesday, Sticking Couplets, Feng Shui and Infectious Diseases", they even refused to fill in such majors. Therefore, the funeral management major has become an absolute upset in the major.

Due to the taboo of traditional ideas, some parents and candidates deeply reject funerals. In fact, this unpopular major is an out-and-out "fragrant cake" in the job market-funeral homes belong to public institutions, and graduates who work in funeral homes can basically get career establishment and have good treatment and benefits. However, even so, few graduates are willing to engage in this industry.

5. Paleontology major: The "Big Mac" in the unpopular professional field may be the paleontology major. Since its establishment in 2008, the paleontology major of Peking University has maintained a low frequency of only one graduate each year. Last year was the Biography of Six Generations, which also made the paleontology major of Peking University a special existence in China's higher education.

Extended data:

The coverage of paleontology specialty is narrow and the demand for talents is limited, which is not suitable for a large number of students. Personnel training should start from master's degree and continue to doctor's degree, and recruit students who are specialized in biology or geology, have certain basic knowledge and are interested in this major.

Open colleges and universities

Shen Shi: Shenyang Normal University introduced that the College of Paleontology of Shenyang Normal University was established on 20 10. Paleontology was first enrolled on 20 1 1, but it is not an independent major, but the research direction of the School of Chemistry and Life Sciences of Shenyang Normal University.

Peking University: The paleontology major in Peking University was originally established in Peking University Institute of Earth and Space Sciences, and the major was cancelled on 1998. 10 years later, Yuanpei College of Peking University reopened the paleontology major.
