<p>We are having a discussion on another thread here and I wish I knew: how many graduates are there in humanities related majors as opposed to, say, chemical engineering or computer science, at CWRU each year? I checked the CWRU web site and couldn't find a list with numbers of graduates in each major. Can one of you point me to a table that shows this, or something like this? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>My son and I toured Case and we know a number of students who go there or graduated from there. This college really has a lot going for it. I know the academics are great but I remember (from our tour) that I particularly loved:
- that you could pick up a bag lunch on the other side of campus if you were too far from the cafeteria
- that when you were waiting for the shuttle bus, you could see a digital read out of where the shuttle was or how long it would be before it came by
- that you could check from your dorm room to see if there were unused washers and dryers in your favorite laundry room, or if that load of wash that you put in a while ago was done and ready for the dryer yet
- that (if your roommate agreed) you could have a bunny as a pet in your dorm room.
Love it. :)</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>I would say that if you are interested in the humanities, it is better to be at a school where there are few humanities majors. I know that some engineers feel lost because their intro classes are so big and they are just another engineer.
But here at Case Western, my intro humanity classes had 10-15 students in them. I have never met with my professor so many times or learned so much before. I would never have had this experience at a liberal arts school. And yes, the departments are very strong in the humanities, its just that most students are more interested in engineering.</p>

<p>Anyone know how many single majors there are in the humanities? Meaning, not people who double major science/hum, just hum.</p>

<p>I don’t know exact numbers Keilexandra, but I do know a few people that are solely English or only psych majors, one cog sci, one poli sci, a few people in econ or business/marketing… so they are out there and they are just as happy and active in campus life as the engineers and scientists. :)</p>
