Human Ec/PAM Students

<p>I would definitely agree with your interpretation of diversity, stargazer. Diversity is one of the reasons why I'm looking to leave UVa.</p>

<p>Diversity for me has much more to do with socio-economic background than simply race and from what I've read Cornell has more diversity in that sense.</p>

<p>But yea, after skimming through the curriculum off the website kat posted earlier I am very stoked about applying to PAM. I think it fits my interests perfectly. Now I just have to show that to the admissions committee.</p>

<p>Are all of the core PAM classes held at MVR?</p>

<p>No... your freshman schedule will look something like this</p>

<p>PAM 230- MVR
Econ- Uris
Psych- Bailey
FWS- goldwin smith
PAM 203- Statler</p>

<p>What career possibilities are there for PAM majors?</p>

<p>Shifu - from what I've read, many go into Law, Public Policy, Govt, Business, Consulting, Management, etc. This site was posted earlier and will give you great info Course</a> Info</p>

<p>ije28, do you know if PAM has a high transfer population by any chance?</p>

<p>Don't quote me on this but i am quite certain that there are a fair number of students that transfer into PAM each year. A lot of students don't know about it and especially students who live in NY but are in arts and sciences and are gov't majors a switch to PAM is ideal since it saves them like $10,000 a year. I do know however that HumEc receives the most transfers (internal transfers) of all the colleges</p>

<p>I'm in NYU CAS majoring in Govt/Econ but PAM fits my interests more, plus saves me a bundle...it's like perfect. If I had known about it before, I would have applied as a freshman! Instead I have to deal with transfer hassles now. I know 1/4 ILR students are transfers, are you sure HumEc has the most? More than 1/4 is a lot. But it makes sense, because often freshman have a vague idea of what they're interested in.</p>

<p>Ohhhhhh... by transfers i thought you meant ITD (internal transfer within cornell's colleges). PAM itself is very small, around 40 in each grade. I'm a freshman so i really have no idea if there are a lot of transfers.</p>
