Default Rate the following majors

In terms of which would be hardest to learn on your own, if one wanted a good understanding of the discipline/field at a college level. Assuming you have access to all neccessary books but don't have class/classmates or profs to help out.


Art History
Econ
Polisci
History
Philosophy
Sociology
Psychology

Default Re: Rate the following majors

just my opinion...

econ because the principles might be hard to grasp at some levels...

polisci, i think discussion/debate is needed in these kinds of classes to help further understanding and my opinion is that a lot of people in this area might try law school and the interaction would prolly help imo...

philosophy, see above...

sociology...

i put history, art history and psychology on the same level below the others because it seems that books might be all u need to do well in these areas as i don't see the point for discussion...

just throwing my 2 cents out there...

I would guess they are all in the same group with the exception of econ, which may be more difficult. Ranking each would probably depend on the school.

isn't sociology considered worthless knowing that it is one of the majors that people that want something on the easy scale get?

For me myself:

History

For most people:

Polisci

Yeah, since that's the only reason anyone ever chooses a major.

I got a B.S. in Econ and if you are decent with stat principles its not that bad a major...Granted the one class I didnt end up taking was Game theory but econometrics wasnt to bad and kinda interesting.
