I have always thought universities should have a mandatory get to know available majors day. Everyone knows Business and Social Science (the majors that fall under these) but there are majors such as construction management, soils management, and yes even computer science that a lot of people don't really know about. Along with this should be the employment rates and avg salary.
I say this as I randomly took a construction management course maybe my last year of college just to see what it was like. Nearly all the students (all male) had a family background in construction. They knew about the major before coming to college.
Will the gender ratios change dramatically? No but at least give students a chance to really understand their options. This is especially true of students who first generation college students, who would tend to be black/ recent immigrant hispanic.
