<p>does that make sense?</p>
<p>I know that they're the best at Dance amongst UCs...it's not even close.</p>
<p>wow. dance. how about a real major?</p>
<p>Hey, we're second only to Juliard, that's pretty damn impressive. </p>
<p>As far as purely academic majors, though, I have no idea. I think we're best at the biological sciences, but I would Imagine Berkeley or UCLA or UCSD probably outrank us. We do have a fairly high percentage of premed hopefuls that get into med school, though.</p>
<p>Aha, found some rankings. to quote wikipedia:</p>
<p>"Following are the most current national rankings for UCI graduate programs by U.S. News & World Report: literary criticism and theory (2), criminology (4), behavioral neuroscience (5), creative writing (6), health care management (9), information systems (11), organic chemistry (11), drama and theater (12), third-world literature (12), cognitive psychology (13), English (16), psychology neurobiology and behavior (16), experimental psychology (19), gender and literature (19), executive M.B.A. (20), cell biology/developmental biology (21), 19th- and 20th-century literature (22), psychology cognitive science (22), sociology (27), aerospace engineering (29), computer science (29), chemistry (30), mechanical engineering (30), civil engineering (31), history (32), environmental engineering (34), fine arts (34), political science (35), biology (36), materials physics (38), biomedical engineering (40), engineering (40), materials science engineering (45), medicine (46), mathematics (47), psychology and social behavior (47), economics (48), business management (49) and electrical engineering (49)."</p>
<p>criminology seems to be very highly rated, as well as creative writing. I don't know how Behavorial Neuroscience compares to the other UCs (really don't care enough to actually look it up). Seems like an impressive list for one of the "mid-range" UC's, though, wouldn't you say so?</p>
