US colleges and universities are recognized for the wide range of majors they provide at all levels. Let’s instead discuss the top majors that Nepalese students who desire to study in the USA are most interested in.
Computer Science: Among Nepalese students who wish to study in the USA, computer science is the most sought-after major overall. This may essentially be due to the fact that computer science offers a wide range of specialties, the most popular of which are software engineering, data science, game development, artificial intelligence, information technology, and so forth.
Business: Another popular major for Nepalese students is business. The desire to start a business is very high in Nepal because it is one of the few nations where the majority of the population is young. Additionally, thanks to the country’s expanding economy and openness to foreign direct investment, thousands of jobs are being created there every month, and a business degree is the best way to meet the growing demand.
Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Business Analytics, Project Management, Hospitality Management, and other business-related disciplines are the most popular among Nepalese students. Students from Nepal are most likely to study biotechnology, medical biology, biochemistry, microbiology, environmental biology, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and similar subjects in biology.
