A survey was conducted in 401 university students who voluntarily participated in this study using the online survey panel targeting university students who reside in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province from December 1, 2014 to February 1, 2015. The results are as follows. Students who had a community service experience and had higher participation in community service showed higher major satisfaction and academic achievement. Particularly, when community service was related to the major, major satisfaction was higher. In addition, the higher the satisfaction with community service was and the higher the need of community service was, the higher the major satisfaction was. Students with health major showed higher major satisfaction than students with non-health major.
