The humanities reigned in the latest round of concentration satisfaction ratings, followed closely by the social sciences and life sciences. As was the case in previous years, smaller concentrations generally outperformed larger ones in the survey, which is taken every spring by graduating seniors.</p>

<p>Women, Gender, and Sexuality achieved the highest satisfaction rate among members of the Class of 2012 with a 4.78 out of 5. Only nine graduating seniors last year concentrated in WGS.

<p>I wonder if the pattern of students being happier in smaller departments is true at other schools. Students may rationally chose majors with lower average earnings if they find them more interesting and enjoyable.</p>
