The sample consisted of 60 students from one university in Phnom Penh. It was a mixed-method study using a survey-questionnaire and individual interviews. Collected data was analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics as well as thematic analysis and interpretations. The results of the study revealed that the most influential factor was "the interest and love of the subjects" . In contrast, the least influential factor was the influence of people outside the family (friends and teachers). In addition, results indicated that students' gender and students' families' monthly income, on the whole, did not affect students' responses to the survey questions in a statistically significant way.enRoyal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP)Students' subject major decisionsScience Freshmen's Choices of Majors at One University in Phnom PenhThesis
