For all of you that have went, are going, or will go to college; What is(was,will be) your major?

I am majoring in Poli Sci and minoring in Spanish. I am more than likely going to try to go to grad. school for law.

I have a BA in English and an MFA in Writing, and I'm currently an Instructor of Engish at a sizable university (about 20K students). In fact, I ought to be working on my syllabi right now, as classes start Monday. 90 young minds to corrupt. :D

BA in Film and Digital Media and a graduate cert in Playwrighting, both from UC Santa Cruz

Graduate student. Major: American Studies, minors: Cultural Anthropology, Geography.

Oooh, an ego-fluffer thread! I love these!!

BAs: Philosophy, Psychology, Biology
PhD: Neuroscience (in progress)

Politcal Science and Business. Then Law school. Just a hundred thousand short.

Graduate student. Major: American Studies, minors: Cultural Anthropology, Geography.


I took an intro class to Cultural anthro. That's one hell of a good field study, i think

I'm just in my second year of some form of biology degree (I haven't decided which) at UBC.

I'd like to get a B. Hon in Music, with Composition as the principal study. :)

I'm in my last year of University, double majoring in Politics/International Studies. I think I qualify for a history minor, as well, but i'm not sure.

What Uni?
Don't take this personally, but I'm not releasing that kind of info around here. In my last incarnation--also a secret to all but a select few--I started getting hassling emails from some old school trolls, as well as comments on my personal website that involved my live-in girlfriend. It was more aggravating than anything else, but I'm not going to subject myself to that kind of bullshit again willingly. Most people here are cool, but there are just enough assholes to make me wary.

That's how I started. I regret not doing it, eventually I'm going to go back and do just that.

Oh i gotcha. It not a problem :)

I was a math major. One of the lovely things about being in math was that it had a relatively small core requirement, so I had a lot of elective courses, and could take political science, philosophy, psychology, computer science, and a number of other fields.

Sophmore that will graduate with his associate's degree in Criminal justice this fall, and his bachelor's 2 1/2 years from then.

International Affairs with a Latin American emphasis. I'm going to grad school in either Environmental Policy or Art History.

i'm going to be doing engineering science. why can't americans decide before they start uni?

Hmm. Did your name end in the letter "A"?

Hey, I have known what I have wanted to do since at least 8th grade.

fair enough. i just have trouble understanding a different system; and here in the uk we specialise after 16.

Check your tgs.

We have a less focused primary education. Besides, my friend did the bee line, did exactly what he always wanted to do only to find out that he loathes it. Same with another, now that I think of it-he went back and got something else entirely. Our first choice is ill concieved, it seems.

Possibly an advantage...I wanted to do history - and engineering. Impossible where I am, so I had to choose. I might have been happier if I haven't been forced to choose when I did.

Check your tgs.

Replied.

I did Foundation Art and Design back in 1989

I'm currently in first year in a degree course studying art. I'll probably specialise in fine art painting.

I went w/ a BS in Biotechnology w/ minors in chemistry and history. Started med school this year.

I will (hopefully) be doing a Russian Studies BA. Ought to be good. :D

I never said I wasn't crazy. I also didn't exactly fit in with most of the students in my major. Most of them were double majors with things like compsci, physics or engineering. I was more of a liberal arts student with a interest in and talent for higher maths. Also, the classes that were hardest for them, were usually easiest for me, and vice versa. I loved the bit of geometry that was non-euclidean (i.e. different definitions of parallel lines) and the more abstract maths.

I'm in my final year of UMKC's six year accelerated medical program (http://web1.umkc.edu/medicine/curriculum/ebc/year_12.htm) :)

Incidently, my alma matar's mascot is cooler than all y'alls-

I'm hoping to major in psychology, minor in mathematics, but that might change once I start. I'll probably be starting this September, (Still haven't applied yet, I'm really bad for procrastinating) and I'll be a year older (And probably no wiser ;) ) than the people I'll be taking classes with for the most part, but that's a story for another day.

Theatre Arts. Assuming I actually ever finish that degree.

CompSci with minors in econ and management. One more year.

go Purdue!

Sounds like fun. Being older than average isn't a bad thing, but I recommend applying if you actually want to go or else you'll end up being 50 years older than everyone else and still procrastinating. :fluffle:

currently: Political Science w/ minor in history

Future: Law School

lol Yeah, now it's more a matter of waiting until my next paycheck for the cash to apply, but they do accept applications until March, and there's no reason they'll turn me down, and [Insert more excuses here]... xD Yeah, I should probably get it started, then.

I'm currently a History major, although I'm going to be changing to a dual major of French (or perhaps Business French) and History with a minor in Political Science.

BSc in Administration. Totally useless degree. I'd have been better off majoring in Ancient History, it would have been more interesting, too.

ya know, I really wish I could take a class under you.

wait, that sounds bad.

anyway, how is that book of poetry coming along? I demand to know when it gets finished.

Anyway, I'm an English secondary education major, and thinking of doing my masters work in theater tech.

Latin American Studies and Spanish Double Major. And I love it.

History, Museum Studies
Eventually to add a Library Science masters on that.

I want to major in engineering physics

A pair of BA's in Philosophy and Poly Sci. I'm currently in my last semester before I (hopefully) go on to law school.

Well, of course, I think it's brilliant, but convinving editors/judges of that fact is a bit more difficult. :D

In reality, it's coming along, and I'll be ready to send it out to more contests in a month or so, once I polish it up. And should I win....

Fuck yeah, because I'll be trying to sell that bitch like it ain't no thang, because poetry publishers expect to take a loss, and if you can get them to break even or gasp! turn a profit, you can make a friend or two.

I'm not exactly sure what I'll do, but I find Physics interesting, and I'm into music and art, so Arts is up there as well.

haha...Merry Christmas NS! You all get a copy of Nazz's poetry for the low low price of your soul

ever need someone to read through it (although, I'm sure as an English prof, you have your choice of editors and critics) send it my way.

Also, I've found physical and mental threats work to "sway" judges. And expensive wine.

Theatre Arts. Assuming I actually ever finish that degree.
Theater arts students always seem to be on the ten year plan, and even then don't always end up getting a degree...

Right now I'm working on my Bachelor's in liberal studies and a teaching credential. Then I'm planning to get a Master's in library science.
