<p>They don’t call communications an “M-R-S” degree for no reason.</p>
<p>It’s for girls waiting for their (the following is sarcasm) shining knight to come save them from their tower of labor and casual sex.</p>
<p>Given, i do think there are some comm majors out there with actual intentions to do something with it afterwards. But i think some of the motivated people were misguided in terms of their major.</p>
<p>Love your major? Well, that’s fantastic. I guess that’s all we can do, love what we learn.</p>
<p>Posts like this peeve me greatly.</p>
<p>If you’re genuinely interested in studying the way people communicate with one another - if you get excited reading the course catalog for your prospective major - then what do you care what others say? </p>
<p>I’ll admit I’m prejudiced - I was a Comm Studies major at UCLA back in the day. I found my classes (in psychology, sociology, law) fascinating, graduated magna cum laude (with a 4.0 in my major), and was accepted out of college into a highly selective apprenticeship program in the film industry (15 out of 3,000 applicants accepted).</p>
<p>As one poster mentioned, it’s very difficult to get admitted to the Comm Studies major at UCLA these days - you apply as a rising junior, and if your GPA’s less than 3.5, the committee won’t even look at your application. If it’s less than 3.7 or 3.8, you’d probably better have a plan B. Don’t sound like slackers to me.</p>

<p>Maybe because it’s so easy that anything less than a 3.7 looks pathetic. lol I kid, I kid.</p>
