<p>What the title says.</p>
<p>Just curious as to what everyone’s thoughts are. To me, a good major is defined as a degree that will give you the most job opportunities, but you can answer it with your own definition/interpretation as well.</p>
<p>P.S. Try your best not to say “nothing”</p>
<p>Oops, I guess this should have been posted in the College Majors section… but I guess it still applies here</p>
<p>Probably a B.A. in Psych or something similar followed by Law School.</p>
<p>^Agree, but I would lean more toward philosophy for law school.</p>
<p>If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>
<p>I agree with the others. I’m thinking of double majoring in English Rhetoric & comp with Psych. I’m leaning towards a BA in psych. Philosophy is great for Law and Business. Sociology can be a nice major without math/science but I think it depends if you are getting a BA/BS. My sister has a BS in Soc and said that statistics was heavily emphasized.</p>
<p>Any major that is none science is extremely bad. Within science, there are bad majors too like psychology and biology (these majors get you no jobs). The 3 best majors: computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering.</p>
<p>^ glad you said that because i want to major in ce.</p>
<p>Philosophy majors are actually very marketable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, but math complements contemporary (and ancient) philosophy, and philosophy and science used to be one and the same.</p>
<p>The OP wants a major that has NOTHING to do with math or science!</p>
<p>Education/teaching? (besides teaching science or math of course) I hear that there is a surplus of history and English teachers, but there is a shortage of special ed and foreign language teachers.
Another I can think of is foreign language… espeically in high demand “critical” languages or in languages not commonly spoken. (such as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, and such)</p>
<p>The great thing about a lot of liberal arts majors is that they can be very flexible in the job market. Many jobs that don’t require a specific type of training will just say “college degree required” or something specific and then “or similar degree”. I think any of these majors can work as long as you know what you want to do with it. I wouldn’t major in say, literature, just because it’s the only thing that interests you and you don’t know what else to do. I think that’s where a lot of liberal arts majors get into trouble…though this can happen with math and science majors too.</p>
<p>Finding majors that have nothing to do with math and science can be difficult. For example, statistics is important for social sciences. Philosophy includes the philosophy of math and metaphysics. History includes the history of math and science. Obviously some majors include more math and science than others, but only including majors that have nothing to do with math and science will be very limiting.</p>
<p>Math is everywhere!</p>
<p>You’ll probably need at least one math or science class (that has to do with your major, so beyond any general ed requirements) during your undergrad career. The only exception I could think of would be English or something like that, although I’m only guessing.</p>
<p>Psychology is a science… SMH</p>
<p>Are that many really completely independent of math or science though? I’d imagine majors related to law or business are decent.</p>
<p>International Relations.</p>
<p>A BBA? You might have to take an accounting and finance class or two, but it’s easy math and should be less math than Psychology and Sociology. </p>
<p>Furthermore, we don’t know what you meant by science. If you are using a broader definition like Yankees20 is thinking (anything studied in a scientific way) then you are really limiting yourself. If you just meant something like no Chemistry or Physics, then there are more options.</p>
<p>Whatever you major in you are going to see some numbers. There are very few majors which are going to be completely devoid of math, and none of the majors listed here except for perhaps English Rhetoric. </p>
<p>At that point nothing will be marketable, because no employer wants someone who will freak out at a 5th grade math problem. If you want to be marketable, suck it up and don’t try to avoid all math and science.</p>
<p>Education -with a Masters in Special Ed . With all the autism ,there will be a great need for Special Ed .teachers !</p>
<p>Hi guys, thanks for all the responses & I hope we can keep the conversation going. </p>
<p>Just to clarify a bit, I understand that no matter what one majors in, it’s inevitable that they’ll have at least one math & science related class. When I said “science,” I was thinking more along the lines of physics and chem (meaning I’m not including social sciences). Just to give you a little more context, I’m starting school this year as a communications/broadcasting major and I’m thinking about doubling up with a psych major in case I want to go to law school (plus I’ve always found it interesting). But this is also just a general, broad discussion… so don’t feel like you have to talk about my situation only!</p>
