It’s more a matter of practicality than anything else. If you pull the music and engineering students out of one school, you have to go school by school by school and pull those fields out of the data to get an apples to apples comparison.

I’m not saying that it wouldn’t be worth looking at. I am saying that the amount of work involved in that exercise is hefty.

It would be easy to do for a limited number of schools by simply starting with the raw totals and researching each school to find out how many majors there are, on average, in that field. It’s not something that I find sufficiently interesting to bother with; I don’t even believe in the concept of choosing an undergrad college based on a specific department. But, somebody else could do the tabulation and post it.
