Armstrong and Hamilton (2013) proposed a framework of three college pathways -- "party," "professional," and "mobility" -- that lead to economically unequal post-graduation outcomes, and vastly different college experiences for female students. Using data from the National Survey of Student Engagement, we examined the responses from 42,504 women seniors at 183 four-year large public institutions to identify how the potential income of their college major choice relate to the pathways. We found that the economic advantage of major choice is not equally distributed among students: party pathway students selected the least lucrative college majors, professional pathway students selected the most lucrative majors, and first-generation students on all pathways tended to select majors with less potential income than their peers with college-educated parents. Students on the three pathways also engaged differently in three measures of academic engagement -- Reflective and Integrative Learning, Learning Strategies, and Student-Faculty Interaction.
