本研究旨在探讨柬埔寨大学生如何选择专业。大学生对于自己专业的选择是一个复杂的过程，涉及一系列步骤。而柬埔寨大学生对专业的似乎与其他学生持不同观点。本研究旨在探讨柬埔寨学生对专业的选择及大学生应如何选择专业。通过对已有文献的综述，作者整理出可能影响专业选择的一系列因素，并将其分为两类：经济模式和社会模式。前者认为，大学生专业的选择是指向未来职业选择的成本收益分析过程，而后者认为，大学生专业选择是情境因素的产物。本研究采取质性研究方法，对8名柬埔寨大学生进行了访谈。结果显示，柬埔寨大学生在选择专业时会考虑不同的因素：预期收入、个人兴趣、从业资格等。另外，还有学生专业的选择具有偶然性，事先并未了解关于所学专业的任何信息。最后，部分学生为了毕业后能够从事理想的工作，选择在大学同时修互补的两个专业。本研究结果表明，由于学生缺少关于专业选择的信息，现有的理论均无法较好地解释或预测大学生专业选择。

This research study is about how students choose their majors at university in Cambodia. The way students choose their majors are somewhat complicated and involves a number of process. Cambodian students seem to have a different view on how to choose their majors at the university. The research is conducted in order to find out about this view and how students should choose their majors at the university. A literature review was conducted to provide a list of possible factors influencing choice of major. These were categorized into two groups. Some authors have used an economic model, which sees student choice as a cost benefit analysis looking to their future career. Others have used a sociological model, which sees student choice as shaped or determined by elements in their environment. In order to conduct this research study, the researcher adopts a qualitative method by conducting interviews with 8 participants from one university in Cambodia. Based on the findings, students consider different factors when choosing their majors. Some students choose their major based on expected earnings, interest, qualifications, and so on. Some students do not possess any information about the majors at the university. They just choose their majors by chance. Also, some students study two majors at the same time. The students who are studying two majors mentioned that studying two majors means that the majors can complement each other in order to achieve their dream career. The study concludes that none of the theoretical approaches satisfactorily explains or predicts student choice of major, mainly because students are lacking in information about the choice they have to make.
