What’s Your Major?

Jun03

My buddy Chase showed me this infographic (via Reddit, original link here) this morning and I thought it was too awesome to not pass on. So take a look and tell me what your course of study would be (Click to enlarge!):
Personally I think I would have a really good time in the Engineering department, but it would be hard for me to say goodbye to science as well. Funny considering I had literally no desire to do either of those things in actual college.

So what’s your major and why?

    I would be a business major with a minor in Bird Law.

    I would have entered as a Science major, but after a year of core classes, switched to the Humanities. But you better believe I am taking Bill Murray’s “MSCI 180: Great Creatures of the Deep” course.

    I’m definitely doing a fourth year independent study with Peter Sellers on Political Psychology and Multiple Personality Disorders, but I have my heart set on Jeff Bridges as thesis adviser.

    Also, minor criticism here, Duchovny gets a joint appointment? In both Paranormal Sciences AND Women’s Studies?? Sorry, you gotta go with one, I’d replace him with Liza Minelli or Lucille Ball (or Mama Huxtable!) in Women’s Studies.

    double major.

    business with concentrations in capital restructuring, economics, and practical business management, and science, focusing on comp sci, archaeology, and lab maintenance.

    however, you better believe i’m signing up for ethics 101. and applied physics. i need to get my lab hours in somewhere.

    I’ll be honest, I took my first anthropology class in college because of Indiana Jones. Then I realized digging up pottery shards during Virginia summers didn’t involve killing Nazis and making out with men in fedoras. Still majored in it though.

    I am currently studying bird law just by hanging out in south Philly dive bars. Osmosis.

    My original thought was “Theoretical Physics!” but then I realized there was a distinct possibility that I’d have my mind stuck in time. I’ll have to go with Science Concentration in Practical Engineering/Applied Physics and Law, Concentration in Bird Law.

    I can’t say I’d still be a medical science major with House teaching. I fear I’d only learn about Zebras and probably about 5 diseases. I’d get into the real world with no clue how to treat asthma.

    I’d have to definitely take some Mechanical Engineering classes given that Tony Stark is teaching. I want to play in an Iron Man suit.

    I’d also have to kill some Nazis with Dr. Jones. Although you know you wouldn’t get anywhere with the ladies in the class, so that’s a minus.

    Other pluses… Bird Law with Charlie, Philosophy with the Dude, and definitely Womens Studies with THE Hank Moody. You’d learn so much from that man, although once again, wouldn’t stand a chance with the women in the room.

    Why is this TV University with so many film stars?

    Either way, I would do exactly what I did in real college. Major in the sciences (Biology) but diversify enough to be 4-5 credits shy of three minors: art, anthropology and philosophy. More core classes would include marine bio with Bill Murray, Paleontology with someone who as actually fought with dinosaurs, learn to make meth so I have a way to make money and physics with Faraday-Awesome. My general ed classes will include dudeism in philosophy, medival history with chainsaw arms and art classes under Mr. Bob Ross himself.

    I would definately try to party and hang out with the faculty and students in Bird Law, green man suit optional

    Law – Mergers & Acquisitions (no doubt). First I’d have to learn now to spell acquisitions though…

    Ironically, this was my other plan for grad school if I didn’t go to W&M. I’e be making a hell of a lot more money, but I wouldn’t have met you!

    Literature, FTW. I had a crush on the Women’s Studies prof, though.
