New data suggests generative AI is already reshaping higher education decision-making: a Gallup-Lumina analysis reports that 47% of college students have considered changing majors because of AI’s impact on the job market. Among those, 14% said they considered switching “a great deal,” with concerns strongest for men, associate-degree seekers, and students in technology and vocational programs. The findings connect enrollment behavior to labor-market uncertainty. The report also links student worries to documented declines in employment for early-career workers in AI-exposed occupations, such as software development and clerical work. For universities, the immediate implication is advising and curriculum alignment—especially for programs most exposed to AI-disrupted entry-level pathways, where student intent may shift faster than degree programs can adapt.
