The title is misleading - I thought you were asking an extremely broad question. I was about to attack you.
;)

Papa_Chicken · November 20, 2008, 8:24pm

college - this list may be outdated…I am most familiar with Penn…for instance, Penn does not offer a civil engineering major, & hasn’t for some time, and there are a bunch of Penn’s majors that are not on the list.

collegehelp · November 20, 2008, 8:39pm

papa-
I think you are right about the demise of Civil Eng at Penn. They had zero grads last year.

Which majors at Penn did I miss? The majors are organized hierarchically by the US Dept of Ed. These are generic names and the name at Penn might be different.

Papa_Chicken · November 20, 2008, 9:54pm

I think the old civil group was folded into whats now called system engineering…which is not civil at all. Same with Env Engineering, which leads me to believe the USDEd list hasn’t been updated.

Excluding Penn’s Nursing school, below are Penn major/concentration lists for its other three undergrad schools.

Penn SEAS

Bioengineering,
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering,
Computer and Telecommunications Engineering,
Computer Science,
Digital Media Design,
Electrical Engineering,
Materials Science and Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics
Systems Science and Engineering.
Biomedical Science,
Cognitive Science,
Computational Biology

Penn Wharton (concentrations)

Accounting
Actuarial Science
Business and Public Policy
Environmental Policy & Management
Finance
Health Care Management and Policy
Individualized
Insurance and Risk Management
Management
Marketing
Operations and Information Management
Real Estate
Statistics
Transportation

Penn CAS

Africana Studies

Physics and Astronomy
Political Science
Psychology
Religious Studies
Romance Languages
Science, Technology and Society
Slavic Languages and Literature
Sociology
South Asia Studies
Theatre Arts
Urban Studies
Visual Studies
Women’s Studies

College-- probably most mismatches are nomenclature things, like Penn’s French Studies is probably subsumed under the USDEd Romance Languages heading… Penn has two different majors in French Studies and Romance Languages.

Some other inconsistencies included on Penn list but not USDEd:

Science Tech & Society
Womens Studies
Near Eastern Languages
Digital Media Design
Computational Biology

I am sure there are more.

Asian & Middle Eastern studies does not exist anymore (was separated into 2 distinct majors–it used to be called “Oriental Studies”)

There is also an “International Studies” major (not to be confused with International Relations) that is the default CAS major for Huntsman students.

collegehelp · November 21, 2008, 8:56am

There is actually a finer level of detail under the categories in post #1. US Dept of Ed has a 3-level classification system and post #1 lists at level #2. The list of majors would be very long at the finest level of detail.

Women’s Studies, for example, actually falls under “Area Studies”.

A major might have been excluded above in pst #1 if it had no graduates last year.

Which Ivies offer which majors?
