Most Popular Degrees In the World
On this page, we present to you the most popular degrees. While there are more than 1000 known degrees in the world, a little less than 200 continue to remain the choice of students applying for college or university.
A quick review confirms that there are many influencing factors that affect the choice of students when choosing a degree. These factors include talents, environment, peer pressure, family pressure/background, academic ability, the degree’s popularity and reputation, job availability, prospective earnings, employment rate in the public or private sector, and others.
Due to the popularity of these degrees, competition for admission is high and the acceptance rate is a staggering 35% or less depending on the school of choice. Students must complete additional admissions requirements and compete for program admission on factors that may include strong O/level and JAMB scores, or GPA, academic standing, and essay submission for international students.
