To investigate the effects of changing majors on academic performance and one-year post-graduation salary, this study utilized a linked dataset comprising academic performance data provided by the Office of Institutional Research at National Central University and the Follow-Up Survey of Graduates, which tracked the career paths of graduates. The sample consisted of bachelor′s degree graduates enrolled between the years 2010 and 2015. Further analysis was conducted by categorizing the sample into six groups based on whether they changed majors and the degree of interdisciplinarity in the major change. Two separate regression analyses were performed: the first part focused on studying academic performance, while the second part examined one-year post-graduation salary. The study finds that regardless of studying in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) or non-STEM fields, students who did not change their major perform better academically compared to those who changed their major. In terms of one-year post-graduation salary, students who remained in STEM majors or switched within STEM majors have significantly higher salaries compared to the reference group. Female students have significantly better academic performance than male students, but there is no significant difference in terms of salary. The grades in the first four semesters have a significant impact on the grades after the first four semesters, but the grades after the first four semesters do not significantly affect the one-year post-graduation salary. Students who took a leave of absence have significantly lower grades compared to those who did not, but taking a leave of absence does not significantly impact the one-year post-graduation salary. Among different learning experiences, the reference group who participated in off-campus internships perform better academically compared to those engaged in language learning, extracurricular activities, and volunteer service learning. However, the reference group′s salary performance is lower compared to those who participated in language learning and international exchange activities. Although language learning has a negative impact on academic performance, it has a positive impact on salary performance similar to those who pursued further studies or took exams. |
