<p>I'm curious as to what the best undergrad majors at cas are? what is it best known for?</p>
<p>There is no “best” CAS major. There are the more and less popular majors, the more and less rigorous majors, but not the good and bad…</p>
<p>Each major has its own benefits as well as disadvantages (length, workload…). However, whether you are interested in biology, poli sci or languages, I am sure that you will find what you are looking for. It is all about what you are interested in and how you can use resources that the particular department offers.</p>
<p>Most CAS departments range from top 5 to top 20 in the country. That really doesn’t make a difference at the undergraduate level in terms of quality. I can’t say that there are any majors where CAS is the best in the country (like UChicago and econ) but it also is so strong in everything that you can’t go wrong. The most popular majors that I’ve seen are Poly Sci, Econ, Bio/BBB, and Psyc. These aren’t necessarily the strongest departments in CAS, but they’re just popular majors at most colleges.</p>
