While it seems like many of the people on CC are science majors, on campus, there are definitely a lot of humanities majors and Hopkins does have a strong reputation in the humanities and social sciences. The Writing Seminars is ranked 2nd in the country by US News. The Public Health department offers one of the few Public Health undergrad programs in the country and allows seniors to study at the top-ranked Bloomberg School of Public Health. The International Studies (aka International Relations) and Political Science undergrad programs are considered among the top in the country - the term Political Science was actually coined at Hopkins. The French program in the Romance Languages department is recognized as a “Center of Excellence” by the French government. While I don’t know any know any specific rankings of the History department, I do know quite a few History majors - the humanities and history are definitely not lacking at Hopkins.
