<p>I am transferring to Cal this fall and since I am coming in as undeclared, I was wondering if dabbling on Rhetoric and considering it as my major would be good or beneficial. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I checked both programs and I'm aware that Cal has the top English program. I also checked their Rhetoric program and was amazed by it.</p>
<p>Not sure what you mean by “better”. In terms of prestige, they’re both top, top programs so they’re essentially equal. If you’re talking about which is easier to find a job after graduation, Rhetoric has the edge (29% vs. 42% unemployment rate following graduation). In the end, you should choose majors based on what you enjoy, not what program is “better”. I’ve heard great things about both programs; my uncle was even has a PhD in rhetoric from Berkeley and he absolutely loved it.</p>
<p>Who needs Rhetorical questions?</p>
