The results of this study indicate that partially the cost of education, interest and motivation have a significant effect on the selection of accounting majors. This can be seen in the results of the coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) which means that the variability of the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable is 65.3% %. While the remaining 34.7% is explained by other variables that are not included in the regression model.
