<p>Haha, I want to unite you with the posters who knew about Chicago’s prominence in the sciences but wanted to know about our programs in humanities/social sciences.</p>
<p>We’re certainly not as famous for our natural sciences as we are for, say, sociology, physics, and economics, but, like any elite research U, you really can’t go wrong. We have a lot of science majors and a lot of research opportunities available for undergrads.</p>
<p>I would also say that as far as the prestige of our sociology and physics programs go, the prestige has more to do with the departments’ past innovations than anything else. And prestige-wise, econ is kind of in a class by itself, but it doesn’t mean that it’s Chicago’s best major.</p>
