It was hypothesized that Christian Science college students would be less likely than other college students to major in one of the sciences. In addition, it was hypothesized that among Christian Science students, the devout would be less likely than the nondevout to major in science and less likely to be academically successful. Data gathered from a large midwestern statesupported university showed, however, that while Christian Science students were indeed less likely than other students to major in the behavioral and life sciences, they were no less likely than others to major in the physical sciences, and they were more likely than others to major in engineering. Moreover, the devout were more, not less, likely than the nondevout to major in science, and they were about as academically successful as the nondevout
