<p>what’s the communication major at uc davis like compared to the other uc’s?</p>
<p>also what’s the percentage of students getting jobs after graduation [after studying communication at ucd]?</p>
<p>from what I've read or heard about, communications is the major in which all the atheltic scholorship kids major in because its one of the easiest ones? if thats the case, then I'm guessing UCD doesnt really heavily focus on communications.</p>
<p>communications is a joke major - please please please major in anything else if you want to be taken remotely seriously.</p>
<p>shiz...seriously?</p>
<p>do you know how i can change my major before school starts?</p>
<p>What career field are you planning to go into?</p>
<p>You can't change your major until you finish at least one quarter at UC Davis, but it doesn't matter because you'll have plenty of time. You don't have to declare until your soph year. Just take a variety of classes, see which ones you like and decide a major off of that. I switched from PoliSci to Genetics, but I haven't declared yet.</p>

<p>ohjeez, I hope you aren't seriously thinking about changing your major because of a single ignorant posting on an anonymous forum.</p>
<p>I don't have any direct knowledge of the communications program at Davis - my degree is from UCLA - but if you find the study of how humans communicate to be as fascinating as I did, I wouldn't worry too much about being "taken remotely seriously". If you approach your classes as a serious scholar, then you will be treated as such by your professors and by other students. If you don't, then you won't, no matter what you're majoring in.</p>
<p>As far as job opportunities - as a Comm Studies grad newly out of college, I was accepted to a highly selective training program in the entertainment industry (15 applicants out of about 1500 accepted), and worked for 25 years in film and TV production. Some of my classmates went on to law school - the interdisciplinary work we did in college was excellent preparation for the study of law. And I read an obituary today in the LA Times for the highly-regarded former president of a local college, whose field of study was - communications. </p>
<p>To my way of thinking, a "joke major" is one you pick because you think it confers some sort of status in the eyes of others, not because you have a genuine interest in the field. And in that case, the joke's on you.</p>
<p>I agree with pamavision, a major is what you make of it. If you really are interested and want to study Communication, then do it, and show to others that it can be a very scholarly subject. Heck, even get a masters in it.</p>
