although inadequate preparation in Mathematics and Sciences in thehigh school is one of the major reasons for switching, it does not mean that the non-switchers whoremain in the programs might be more comfortable with their level of preparation and the reasons fortheir “staying the course” may be different than a perceived lack of preparation. Other reasons forswitching cited were related to poor teaching, and difficulty in getting help for academic problems(Seymour, 2001). In an ethnographic study (Seymour and Hewitt, 1997) additional reasons forswitching to non-SME disciplines: lack or loss of interest in science; belief that a non-SME major holdsmore interest or offers a better education; and feeling overwhelmed pace and load of the
