Early declaration of a major, said Adams, is "neither encouraged nor when all you want to do is stop. discouraged," But there is only "limited" room for elective courses in the first year. "In the freshman year the curriculum is so oriented that the elective options are few," said Adams. "They wonder why they're taking all these courses," said Fordham College Assistant Dean for Juniors Stanley Pycior (last year's freshman dean), referring to the core and core area courses Fordham College and CBA students take in freshman and sophomore years. "Freshmen are anxious about their future as are their parents," .said Pycior, "and this is what motivates entering students who decide early upon a speculative area of major interest." They seek a "recognizable career," says Pycior, and a good, well-paying, steady job after college. According to Pycior, communications, computer science and biology (a major especially suited to pre-med students) were the most popular majors for the Fordham College class of 1987. Over 100 of 750 mem- bers of the class of '87 were said to be preparing for medical school.

"A number of students come out and say they'd like to make the income doctors make," said Pycior. Aside from citing other reasons for going into the field, "more mem- lion the fact that medicine is a very lucrative profession," he said. Dean David Sluhr said that many CBA students are attracted to public accounting, for which a special degree is awarded. According to Stuhr, as early accounting students become exposed to the "very rigorous" curriculum, a number of them change their concentration to finance or marketing, which he approximates attracts one quarter each of the 232 CBA freshmen. Stuhr said there are many factors which influence students regarding concentration choice, one of which he says is related to the quantitative skills of the student versus the qualitative ability he or she has.
