What happens after enrollment? An analysis of the time path of racial differences in GPA and major choice

Table 10 Major migration by initial major and SAT

	Final Major
	Percent of students		Mean SAT
	Humanities/	Nat Sci/Eng/	Humanities/	Nat Sci/Eng/
Expected major	Social Science	Economics	Social Science	Economics

Humanities/Social Science	29%	1%	1277	-
Natural Sci/Engineering/Econ	26%	22%	1270	1289
Do not know	13%	9%	1231	1307

Note: The sample size for non blacks (blacks) is 887 (203). “Do not Know” indicates students who reported not knowing their initial major. The mean SAT value for black students switching from humanities/social science to natural sci/engineering/econ was not reported in order to protect the identity of the students (i.e. the sample size of this cell is 2). However, we can state that the mean SAT score for this cell is higher than the humanities/social science-expected major and the humanities/social science-final major.
