<p>My D, who recently graduated from Wes, has a theory that they cap the Soc 151 because otherwise, every other Wes student would be a Soc major (not sure if she’s tongue in cheek or not.) They offered an intro for probable non-majors (soc 152) which she was able to take, so she could take other soc classes.</p>
<p>She also took quite a few ethnomusic classes (such as gamelon and African drumming). Since they have a grad program in this, I can’t see it being drastically cut. </p>
<p>Admittedly, she did struggle to get the classes she needed in her major, gov, because last year there were several sabbaticals and pregnancies in the dept at the same time. She became adept at campaigning to get into closed classes–practically stood on her head to get into Crenshaw’s terrorism class–and I think she developed some good persistence and salesmanship skills in the process!:)</p>
<p>Seriously, it’s a wonderful school—don’t be scared off by Argus. She’d go back and do it again if she could!</p>
