A survey of senior students' opinions about, and attitudes towards, their academic major was conducted at National Taiwan University in March, 1975. The total sample of subjects was composed of 232 male and 404 female students, drawn from the graduating classes of various departments. It was found that, while the degree to which the student's perceptions of his present major were congruent with the expectations he had in choosing the department as a preferred alternative for placement before the College Joint Entrance Examination was only moderate, it differed widely in different dimensions of expectations.
