  Biopsychology:

Biopsychology is a really interesting field, and it helps to get lots of research experience. As different fields within biology, psychology, and neuroscience collide, a graduate degree is generally needed. Otherwise, a Bachelor's will help you get research assistant jobs. The education is applicable to a lot of different social sciences if that is what you are interested in. Don't be afraid of statistics, it's easier than you think and so crucial to this field! If I had to do it over, I would absolutely choose this major again. Once I got over my fear of the length of grad school, I really fell in love with the fact that there is always something new to learn and explore.

Take a wide range of classes, don't be afraid of technology. Library Science is more than just knowing about books, it's a love of information.

I majored in Symbolic Systems which was a combination of computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. At Stanford, we end up all working for google.

  Liberal Arts and Sciences / Liberal Studies:

I majored in Liberal Studies because it covered a broad range of things. I had three different concentrations. At the time it seemed like a good idea since I couldn't decide on a field to study. But if I had to do it all over again, I would have stayed in school longer and decided on one major. I have been out of college for a year and a half and I'm just as clueless as I was four years ago when I chose this major.

  Humanities / Humanistic Studies:

I majored in Human Development, which is a mix of psychology, sociology, education, and social work. While I really enjoyed my studies, I would not choose this major again. I have had a hard time finding a job because my degree is so broad that I don't have specific training in any one area, and alot of places have not heard of my major.
I did find a degree in Human Development to be helpful in leaning what areas of study I do enjoy. It has helped me narrow down what I will major in for my Master's degree.
All in all, I would reccoment this degree to someone who isn't sure of what they want to do, but for someone with a specific goal I would reccomend a more focused major.

  Library Science / Librarianship:

Cons: Beware that you often will need to choose between living somewhere desirable and ease of finding work. Make sure that your school's placement program is active; many schools in the LIS field expect you to find your own way with no placement assistance. There's little funding for this field. Pros: I would certainly do it again. I've worked a crazy quilt of jobs since i got my BA&MLIS in 2003, but i tend to be able to use my reference skills in every last one. I enjoy my searching skill in everyday situations, i adore being in demand in and out of the library now that i have more experience. What else you should know: This isn't easy work. Ask questions in class especially if you're weak on paper or electronic searching; so much that i assumed "would come to me" took much more time than i expected in the real world. Make positive sure your school's ALA-accredited. If you are in a joint BA-MLIS program, get your BA in something useful outside the library field (mine's in IT) but that will still complement what you do.

  Library Science / Librarianship:

If you want to be a librarian, an MLIS is non-optional. URI was a good place to go for my MLIS though. It's small and intimate - most people in your chosen program will be there with you throughout the second year, taking the same classes. Small groups mean you can get a lot of personal attention and support. The program is two years long, and the first year is largely theoretical. This can be tough going, especially if you've never worked in a library before. But if you get through the theory, you'll be rewarded with more real-life experience and a lot of support from staff in terms of classwork, practicing your skills, finding jobs, and becoming the best librarian you can be. As a school librarian, I'm really grateful to the URI GSLIS for getting me where I am. I'm very glad I chose this major and this school.

  Humanities / Humanistic Studies:

My tip: The best, direct application for this major is to use it to go on and teach Humanities. Outside of a college setting, I have found very little direct application for my knowledge. However, I still recommend studying Humanities. I know of no other course of study which can go so far to "broaden" a person. By combining Art, Literature, and History (along with most everything else) Humanities allows a more complete understanding of the world around you. I'm glad I chose this major, but I'm not sure I would do it again because of it's limited income-earning potential. I would certainly take classes in this field, but would also focus on something like education or business. The trick to this major is finding a field in which you can apply your knowledge.

  General Studies:

I loved my major because I created it. Every class I took was because I was interested in it. I took mostly advertising related courses. To get into the Advertising School at my university was very difficult because it was considered the number one school in the country and required that I take a lot of courses in journalism which I had no interest in, not to mention that a lot of my credits that I had already accumulated wouldn’t have counted toward my degree. By doing a General Studies program I was able to use all my previous course credits and just focus on advertising courses. I also had the flexibility to take any course I wanted to such as computer graphics and advertising sales and even got credit for creating my own company during the summer. When I graduated, I was offered the same jobs as the students who got into the Advertising School thru a Journalism major. I actually got a major job at one of the largest advertising agencies in the world on one of the biggest accounts.
Obviously I loved my major and it worked perfectly for what I wanted to do for a living. Of course if I wanted to be a doctor I would have to go about things differently but this was not the case.

Allowed me to pile all my credits for 4 collegs and actually get a degree. Not good if you want to have a specific field of work, but I am in sales and it's perfect for resumes.

  Multi- / Interdisciplinary Studies, Other:

I graduated from CSU Monterey Bay, and this is a major factor in my satisfaction with my degree. Prefessors provided many real life opportunities to practice and use the skills and theories we were in the classroom. With this degree, I feel I could step into just about any job and be successful because I didn't just learn about it, I actually did it-- from restorative justice to oral history to a major research project and presentation. The only negative is that upon graduating, I felt as though I had too many options and I didn't know where to focus my job hunting.

People considering this major should jump into the theories and practical applications by comparing news events and personal events to the classroom. Encourage all class members to participate by helping to create a pleasant, accepting learning environment.

  Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities, Other:

The University system has grown to have a critical flaw: almost all colleges and majors are on some level Technical Colleges. You go to school and take a major to learn how to do a particular job. This is not really getting a true education in the classical sense of the word. An education should make you a well rounded human being capable of independent thought and critical analysis thereby making you fit for more important jobs and higher positions. In other words, your education should outfit you for life, not just be job training, and having a good education enables you to pursue the most aggressive careers. To this end, Liberal Arts is the very best major you can have. If you attend a good Liberal Arts University you should leave and strong, independent, critical thinker who is prepared to learn and tackle virtually any job. Most importantly you'll be a well-rounded human being who is more than able to continue studies in almost any direction if you should choose to advance your education even further.

  Multi- / Interdisciplinary Studies, Other:

My degree is a Bachelor of Individualized Studies, concentrations in Sociology, Psychology, and Business Management. Individualized Studies, Liberal Studies, or multidisciplinary degrees are great, if you plan well. I was able to choose all my classes and design a degree program that only included classes that I felt would be helpful in the future. The negative side of these degrees is that many employers don't really understand them, which can hinder your post-graduate job search. If you decided to do something other than a standard major, make sure you integrate internship/work experience classes into your plan. It will help flesh out your resume later.

  Mathematics and Computer Science:

Multidisiplinary means more then one majors it usually takes about 5 years to finish it but if you take classes in summer and winter class it will usually take you 4.5 years. But it is going to be heard work and determination if you want to go to computers hardware and on technician side,you will need to setup networks and get more then one computer first. This will enable you to be in a corporate environment. It is better to practice and learn then to read and learn. Because when you are in the corporate environment without experience you won't know what to do if you are a book technician. This major will get your foot in the door and impress people who look at your resume in the real world but if you do not know what you are doing when you fix a computer or something you will last about a month or so in the company untill you learn what you are doing.
