Forum major survey 2021

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

A J.D. and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with Math Minor.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

Meteorology major, math minor.

[Cassius]

BA in Classics.

[Sir Mohamed]

Master of Business Administration and Economics

I was also interested in philosophy and political science, but didn't see a job perspective at the time.

[Nutmeg]

Double-majored in political science and international studies and had enough credits for history and African American studies, but my school banned triple-majoring starting with my class after a student completed suicide a few years prior in part because of the pressure to finish 3 majors.

[beesley]

A dual major of history and politics.

[Beet]

Double major in economics and political science.

[Theodore]

Undergraduate: Political Science (Almost double majored/minored in Japanese but my university has some weird requirements)
Graduate: Will be Public Policy (Almost might do an international relations but idk)
Undecided on if I should pursue a PhD in Political Science or a Law Degree, I’m strongly leaning towards a law degree

[muon2]

BA Mathematics and Physics
MS Physics
PhD Physics, thesis work in experimental particle physics (which leads to my username/screen name)

[°Leprechaun]

I did an interdisciplinary major in History & Philosophy.

[Torrain]

Msci in Biological Science, graduating this autumn
PhD in Virology, starting this autumn

Well I can't talk for Italy, but with classes like those I would assume perhaps some sort of double degree in Political Science and Economics?

Idk about Italy but here the main effect of the European standardization reforms (at least as far as engineering goes, I can't talk for other areas) was to turn the old 3 year "Diplomas" into 4 year college degrees; and to get the equivalent to the old 5-6 year "Licenciatura" you now need to do a masters.

I think other areas just merged their degrees instead. So for example back in the day you'd have the 3 year "Diploma in Business Administration" and the 5 year "Licenciatura in Business Administration"; both of which just got merged into a sort of intermediate 4 year degree in Business administration.

Personally I think the reform was stupid in that regard (although the broad concept of European standardization was a good one, I just think Spain handled its implementation poorly) and we should have gone with 3+2 like most of the EU did but whatever.

Yup. The Warren and Harris hate on here is unreal #engineers4warren #ivegotplanforthat #engineers4kamala #imspeakingmisterVP

Here the effect of european standardization was delete the old 4/5 years degree* and change it with the 3+2 degrees, and heavy go down on quality. I dislike much more the quality effect that the administrative.

* the old degree are equivalent at the 3+2 also if were of 4 years

back on my degree, officially is in "Economia e Commercio" this sound here like a degree in fiscal profession, but this coming because there is not a tradition for separate Economics School.

Currently working on a BS in Physics and a Minor in History.

Currently working on a BS in Physics and a Minor in History.

That is an interesting combo. Even more interesting is my former dentist in OC, CA, who was Chinese, as were his father, grandfather and great grandfather, so he was the 4th generation dentist of his family line, whose major in college was French literature. We became good friends, even though his major hobby was being a "Treckie," who attended numerous conventions in costume - very gay even though he was straight.

[SWE]

History and philosophy, starting law school in the fall

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Other language/literature (Japanese), religion/theology. I'm surprised I'm the only person in the former category.

[Stuart98]

In all seriousness... the engineering majors I knew in college were more likely to fit the demographic profile of stereotypical Warren and Harris supporters (if they're primary-voting Democrats) than other majors, who seemed more like Sanders and Yang-supporting types. As a group, STEM faculty at elite public universities are very Warren/Harris-esque.

In my experience, the division between Warren types and Sanders types among university faculty does not have much to do with subject area; basically, tenure-track faculty would be for Warren, and other faculty would be for Sanders.
