300+ List of STEM Majors

On this page, I’ll share with you over 400 lists of STEM majors in [current_year]. Irrespective of the potential higher median earning, choosing a STEM major is not compulsory except for career-minded students. You should seek out the degree program and fit that best suits you. For STEM, a student should possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills and be interested in how the world functions, how technology works, and how it can develop and affect human life, health, and well-being.

STEM majors are college programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM majors have seen increasing demand for jobs for the last decade. Not only are there many career opportunities for STEM majors after college, but tend to have more positive economic outcomes, such as higher median earnings, than do those with majors in non-STEM fields.

Because STEM fields require highly specialized and skilled workers, salaries tend to be especially high, have low unemployment rates, and are in high demand. Thus we looked through over 1200 different majors to determine this list of STEM majors for [wpdts-year], taking into consideration the earnings potential, and employment opportunities.

You should know that STEM majors have a reputation for being difficult. STEM majors can be challenging, but that shouldn’t stop you from pursuing one if you have a keen interest in it. Check out the list of STEM majors below
