Best Majors offered at UCR?

<p>What are the best majors offered at UCR? I heard UCR is best in the science department? What about people who want to go into the law field?</p>

<p>Take a look at what UCR put up on their website: [About</a> UCR: Ranks](<a href=“http://www.ucr.edu/about/ranks.html]About”>http://www.ucr.edu/about/ranks.html)</p>

<p>About half of UCR students are enrolled in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS). I can’t tell you too much about the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) or Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE), but I do know that UCR is tops in entomology. I think we’re pretty good with biological sciences too. Then there’s the whole UCR-UCLA Haider Program.</p>

<p>We have a pretty solid arrangement of majors in CHASS, though we are definitely still growing. I would say the bulk of CHASS students’ majors are either Pre-business, Psychology or Sociology.</p>

<p>We have a great Philosophy department. The Film and Visual Culture has been a major for about two (?) years, but has its own department professors in addition to amazing professors from other departments. We also have some unique majors/minors: Comparative Ancient Civilizations; Southeast Asia: Texts, Rituals and Performance (SEATRiP); Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Studies; Marxist Studies.</p>

<p>We also have a bunch of majors that are paired with “Administrative Studies” or “Law and Society.”</p>

<p>Administrative Studies:

  • Art History Administrative Studies
  • Economics Administrative Studies
  • History Administrative Studies
  • Political Science Administrative Studies
  • Sociology Administrative Studies</p>

<p>Law and Society:

  • Anthropology Law and Society
  • Economics Law and Society
  • History Law and Society
  • Philosophy Law and Society
  • Political Science Law and Society
  • Psychology Law and Society
  • Sociology Law and Society</p>

<p>Lots of people joke that you could major in whatever you want and then go to law school. Not sure how seriously people should take that joke, haha.</p>

<p>Any Public Policy Majors</p>

<p>shesasensation: That’s not a joke, law school’s don’t care much about your undergraduate major.</p>

<p>Yea, basically you can major in anything and get into law school. The same thing applies to medical school. I know someone who got into medical school with a business major.</p>

<p>you need to take the pre-req’s for med school.</p>

<p>True, but I’m just trying to state that you can have any major and get into medical school.</p>
